Incompletes are ONLY for good students who have extraordinary circumstances at the end of the semester that prevent them from finishing.

Good students are those that have come to class consistently, have turned in their assignments on time, and are conscientious students. Extraordinary circumstances are: death in the family, injury, serious illness, car accident with injuries, etc. (You can ask for verification: i.e. doctor’s note, police report, Xerox of plane tickets or obituary, etc.).

An Incomplete is NOT for a student who wants extra time to get a better grade, or has not been to class all semester and doesn’t want an F, or is going on vacation and will miss the end of school, etc. (you will hear all kinds of excuses).

Students who are not doing their work or are not attending class should officially withdraw from class before the withdrawal/pass-fail deadline. If they do not, they should get an F on the grade roster.
