The Graduate School requires that Incompletes be cleared before a student schedules a Qualifying or Final M.A. or Ph.D. examination. In addition, the department has the following rules governing the grade of lncomplete.

 Incompletes will not be granted in Independent Studies. Exceptional cases may be appealed to the Graduate Faculty of the department.

•  Students who are not teaching assistants may register only for a maximum number of credit hours equal to 12 less the number of hours of lncomplete. Students with Incompletes are required to fill out the appropriate form defining terms for the completion of the course.

N.B. In order to be considered full-time by the Graduate School, a student must be enrolled for 9 credit hours of coursework. A student who has six or more hours of lncomplete will be ineligible for an assistantship.
