Due to many factors, it is occasionally necessary (although by no means desirable) for an offcampus student who can not finish the course material with the semester to take an incomplete (I grade) in the course. I would stress that this should be avoided at all costs -- neither you nor I want an unfisnished course hanging over our collective heads.

In order to be granted an incomplete, an off-campus student must:

• complete at least half of the course (i.e., the midterm and all assignments up through the midterm) before the end of the semester
• must obtain the instructor's permission before the end of the semester and work out a schedule for completion.
