Incomplete Contract

Incomplete Contract Form

Extension of Incomplete Form

Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, students are not able to complete their coursework during a semester. If you are struggling in a course, the first step is to reach out to your professor and see what your options are. From there, if your professor agrees to let you take an incomplete and finish it later, your next step will be to fill out an Incomplete Contract. Please make sure to keep a copy for both you and your professor.

If you take an incomplete, you generally have a year to complete the coursework before the grade turns into an “F.” However, your professor has the right to require you to finish sooner. This contract is to make sure you have a clear plan for finishing your course and to keep a record of the agreement you have made.

In the event that you cannot finish your incomplete within a year, you have the option to discuss extending your Incomplete Contract with your professor. If you both agree to an extension, you will then fill out an Extension of Incomplete Form.
