receive an F or another letter grade as appropriate. It is the
student’s responsibility to contact the CWEE
office to complete an "Incomplete Grade Contract" form #029.
To clear an "I" grade, a student must make arrangements with the
instructor to make up the grade prior to the end of the ensuing semester
in which the incomplete was given. Failure to clear an "I" grade will
result in a grade by the instructor given in lieu of completion of the
course and could result in an F or FW grade being assigned.
