Beginning this fall semester, updated procedures for assigning and resolving��Incomplete (I) grades will take effect. These changes, made in consultation with the Boulder Faculty Assembly, are intended to improve consistency and the student experience, clarify existing policy, and align with the campus Grade Replacement Policy.

Key reminders

• Incomplete grade requests must be initiated by the student and are appropriate only when circumstances beyond the student's control prevent completion of course requirements.
• A substantial portion of the coursework must be completed by the student to be eligible for an Incomplete grade.
• An��Incomplete Grade Agreement must be completed to document remaining work and deadlines for completion (may also use a college/school Incomplete form).
• If requirements are not completed within one year of the end of the semester in which the Incomplete was assigned, the grade converts to an F.
• Incomplete grades are not eligible for grade replacement until they have been resolved.

What's changing for fall 2026 and later

• “Substantial portion” is clarified as the student having at least two-thirds of coursework completed (with a passing grade) to be considered for an Incomplete grade.
• Reenrollment is not a means to resolve an Incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding coursework and receive a final grade from the instructor within the prescribed resolution period.��I grades are no longer made permanent if a student chooses to reenroll.
• The notation "Originally graded as Incomplete" will no longer appear on official transcripts.

These changes apply only to Incomplete grades assigned in��fall 2026 and later. Incompletes assigned before fall 2026 will continue to follow previous procedures.
