See below for info on how to do this.
Reminder: May 18, 2012 last day for grad students to clear INC grades from Spring, Summer, and Fall 2011.
“I write to remind faculty who teach Brooklyn College graduate courses that May 18, 2012 will be the last day for graduate students to clear INC grades from spring, summer, and fall 2011 and intersession 2012 by submitting missing work. This deadline is in accordance with Faculty Council action bringing Brooklyn College into compliance with CUNY policy that INC grades be resolved in the long semester following the semester in which the grade was assigned.
I also wish to bring to your attention the clarification of the INC grade, passed by Faculty Council and entered into the 2011-12 Graduate Bulletin. Please pay special attention to the provision that an INC grade may be assigned only if the student has satisfactorialy completed most of the course requirements and has provided evidence documenting extenuating circumstances:
“A grade of INC may be given at the discretion of the instructor when the student has satisfactorily completed most, but not all, course requirements and the student provides to the instructor evidence documenting the extenuating circumstances that prevent the completion of course requirements before the end of the semester. All work must be completed within a period to be set by the instructor but not to exceed a period specified in the academic calendar, starting from the end of the term in which the course was taken. The date for this conversion from INC to FIN, depending on when the course was taken, appears in the academic calendar. If the student fails to complete the work by this deadline, the grade will be changed to FIN (equivalent to an F). Students who have officially withdrawn from the college and have INC grades may be exempted from the above limitations.”
If you have any questions about the deadline or the clarification of the INC grade, please speak with the graduate deputy or your department chair.
All best wishes for a successful spring semester, Associate Provost Donna Wilson
