Incompletes

The following paragraphs summarize university and school policy on incompletes: An incomplete is given only for an exceptional reason for not completing the course (e.g., death in the family, serious illness). Any such reason must be fully documented before an incomplete can be given. Any incomplete request must be approved by the Chairman of Computer Science. In particular, an incomplete is not given for any of the following reasons: The company won't pay for the course if I get _____. My grade point average will suffer if I get _____. It's past the drop date and I'll have to pay for the course if I withdraw now.

In the unlikely case that an incomplete is given, it must be made up with the original professor of the class. It is not possible to "sit in" on another faculty member's course and have that person give the grade to turn in. As a result of university and school rules concerning incompletes, incompletes in the School of Computer Science are rarely given.
