Incomplete grades are issued at the discretion of the course instructor/faculty. If given, the course instructor should complete an MSW Incomplete Agreement Contract which stipulates the course work to be completed and the date the instructor expects to receive the outstanding work. Students will receive notification of the completed contract by email from the Office of Student & Academic Services (OSAS).

• All required work must be submitted by the end of the following semester, or within a shorter time, specifically designated by the instructor.
• The instructor may change the incomplete to an “F” if work is not completed by the specified time, or the incomplete becomes permanent.
• A permanent grade of “I” in a required concentration/foundation course must be repeated.
• Students with a total of three or more incomplete grades will be referred to the Educational Review Committee (ERC) to determine the student’s academic status.

Term of course Incomplete must be submitted by

• Fall courses: End of the Spring semester unless indicated otherwise by instructor
• Winter courses: End of the Spring semester unless indicated otherwise by instructor
• Spring courses: End of the Summer semester unless indicated otherwise by instructor
• Summer courses: End of the Fall semester unless indicated otherwise by instructor

Please note: Incompletes in BASC 5390, BASC 5391, or any concentration course must be completed before the beginning of the following semester. If the incomplete is not rectified by the end of this period or if a student has three active incompletes and/or N grades, the student may be referred to the Educational Review Committee (ERC).

Fall semester incompletes in foundation courses must be completed by the first week of January of 2026, and Spring 2026 foundation or concentration courses must be completed by August 15, 2026. If work is not satisfied, students may be referred for an Educational Review and may receive a permanent incomplete.
