Grade of INC (Incomplete)
A grade of INC is given in lieu of a grade only in exceptional circumstances for students who have been doing satisfactory work and have been unable to complete course requirements. Students who receive an Incomplete must fulfill their academic obligation within one calendar year of the end of the semester in which the grade of Incomplete is given. In extraordinary circumstances and with the approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies or the Vice President for Enrollment Management, the time limit may be extended one additional year. Incomplete grades that are not resolved within the above-mentioned time period become permanent Incompletes. Such grades will not be counted in the student grade point average. No credit is awarded for Incompletes that have not been appropriately resolved. A maximum of three grades of Incomplete may be converted to regular grades during the course of a student’s enrollment in graduate studies at John Jay College. In rare circumstances, more than three grades of Incomplete may be converted to regular grades with the approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies or the Vice President for Enrollment Management.
Once a student has completed their outstanding coursework, they should follow up with their professor to ensure that the Resolution of Incomplete form was submitted to the Office of the Registrar. Only faculty members are permitted to submit this form to the Office of the Registrar.
