Dropping Classes

Complete class drops with the Add/Drop form. Check the registration handbook (listed on Registrar's homepage) for relevant deadlines to drop classes.

Incompletes

Incomplete or "I" grades are processed by the faculty member.  In order to be considered for an "I" grade, the student must have completed 75% of the course and be passing the course. You can download the Incomplete form here. Please direct any questions on Incompletes to the Office of the Registrar. 

Prior to completing this form, the student must consult with their faculty member. The instructor has the final authority to approve or disapprove the "I" grade.
