The time limit for removing the “I” is to be set by the instructor of the course. “I” grades not removed by the end of the time limit will be changed to “IF” or “IU,” whichever is appropriate. If an instructor is willing, he or she may accept work from a student after an “I” grade has changed to an “IF” or “IU” grade, and assign the student a final grade in the course, unless the student has graduated. Whether or not the student is in residence, any change to “IF” grades will be calculated in the cumulative GPA and, if applicable, the student will be placed on appropriate probation or academically dismissed. Students are not required to register for course in which they are only completing precious course requirements to chance an “I” grade. However, if a student wants to audit a course for review in order to complete course requirements, full fees must be paid.
