I— The grade of “I” denotes an incomplete grade for the course, and will be awarded only when the
student has done satisfactory work up to the last two weeks of the semester, but for nonacademic
reasons beyond his/her control is unable to meet the full requirements of the course.
A grade of “I” must be removed (by completing the course requirements) within one calendar
year from the end of the semester in which the “I” was originally assigned. In addition, should
the student enroll in classes at KSU during the calendar year, the grade of “I” must be removed
by the end of the first semester of enrollment during that calendar year.
Upon completion of the course requirements within the specified time limits, a final grade will be
assigned on the basis of the students total performance. If the course requirements are not completed
within the specified time limits, then the “I” will be changed to an “F” (for a course which
awards letter grades of “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, or “F” and the cumulative and adjusted grade point
average will be recalculated accordingly or the “I” will be changed to a “U” (for a pass/fail course
which awards a grade of “S” or “U”. An “I” cannot be removed by reenrolling in the course.
