What is an incomplete? ("I" or "IP" grade.)Gonzaga University

An "I" or Incomplete is given when a student with a legitimate reason(to be determined by the instructor)does not complete all coursework within the semester or session in which the course was offered. A student should not receive an unexpected incomplete grade; incompletes are assigned as an agreement between the student and professor. The professor will set a deadline for the coursework to be completed, and a provisional grade if the work is not completed by the deadline.If the professor does not assign a provisional grade, the incomplete automatically converts to an"F" grade30 days into the next semester. Requests for time extensions must be submitted by the professor before the conversion.

An "IP" is a Grade In Progress. This grade is assigned only for courses in Research, Comprehensive, Internships, Thesis, Dissertation,and Proposal Seminar. A deadline is set by the professor for completion of the work. If a grade is not submitted by the designated time, the IP will convert to a "W"at the end of the following semester. Requests for time extensions beyond the deadline must be submitted by the instructor prior to the conversion date.
