Incomplete grades are the only means to receive an extension to submit coursework following the close of the semester.
SOS can provide advocacy to faculty on behalf of students regarding requests for incomplete grades when a student experiences an extreme, short-term, extenuating circumstance that is supported by documentation or relevant campus partner (such as the Title IX Coordinator, or Campus Safety).
Examples include: a death in the family, a physical or mental health crisis or event, or being the victim of a crime.
While SOS advocacy supports the legitimacy of a request for an incomplete grade and maintains students' privacy, the final decision to grant an incomplete grade is made at the discretion of the individual faculty.
