Grade Extensions

Requests for additional time to complete course requirements beyond the deadline must be submitted using the:

Extension for Incomplete Grades form

  • The form must indicate the expected date for the completion of the work.
  • The request requires the approval of the professor, the graduate director of the student’s department, and the Dean of Graduate Studies.
  • The Office of Graduate Studies will then notify the Registrar and the student’s grade will reflect a “N” until the approved deadline date.
  • Once the student has submitted all outstanding work by the extension deadline, faculty have two weeks to submit the grad change form.
  • The Dean of Graduate Studies will not approve more than three extensions for the same course.

Students who require a grade extension for a course in the semester in which they plan to graduate must consult with the Office of Graduate Studies before submitting the grade extension form. In some cases, if the grade extension deadline is beyond the degree conferral date for that semester, the student's degree conferral will be delayed to the next semester.
