What are "I" Grades?
An "I" grade means that the course is "Incomplete." I grades are temporary and can only given at the request of a student with the consent of an instructor - and only after the cut-off date for a "W" (Withdrawal) grade.
A student who wishes to receive an I grade in a course must present an Incomplete Grade form to the instructor by the day of the final exam.
An I grade is to be used if a severe hardship beyond the control of a student prevents them from completing course requirements. Students must complete sufficient work for the instructor to submit a grade within one year from the faculty grade submission deadline for the appropriate semester. I grades that have not been resolved after the one year deadline will be changed to a grade of 0.0.

Appealing Grades
The Grade Appeal Procedure
can be used to correct a clerical or procedural error but not to review
the judgement of an instructor in assessing the quality of the
student's work. The Office of the Registrar is authorized to change a
grade if the student can demonstrate clerical error, prejudice or
capriciousness in the assignment of the grade - otherwise the judgement
of the instructor is final.
