Incomplete Grades
When can an incomplete grade request be submitted?
All of the following must be true:
- Student has successfully completed three quarters of the coursework
- Student has personal emergency preventing remaining work from being submitted
- Faculty agrees that an incomplete is appropriate
- Faculty has NOT submitted final course grade
What is the process to submit the incomplete grade?
- After the student and instructor agree that an incomplete grade will be granted based upon the policy, the student submits the request electronically. Go to my.newpaltz.edu > Registration > Request Incomplete Grade
- The Request for Incomplete grade will be emailed to the faculty. The faculty will have the option to approve or decline the incomplete grade
Note to student and faculty: The student must submit the request and the faculty must approve this request before the option of the “I” grade will be available on the grading roster.
Note to faculty: Approving the student request DOES NOT enter the “I” grade. This grade must be entered on the grading roster by the faculty.
