Do you have a student who needs to resolve an incomplete from a previous term? They should not re-register for the course. Instead, review the information below and send the required information to Canvas@oregonstate.edu

Things to Consider

An incomplete agreement should be filed with the department or college whenever an incomplete grade is issued.

An incomplete grade should only be used when a small, but significant, portion of the course needs to be completed. Incomplete grades should not be issued when the student has a large portion of the work to complete. The alternative option should only be used if interactions with other students is required to complete missing work. Review documentation from the Office of the Registrar for more information.

Contact the Office of the Registrar if you have questions about incomplete grades.

Recommended: Student will complete missing work in the original Canvas site

Whenever possible, faculty should use this option to allow a student to complete the missing work in the original course where the incomplete was given. Send the following information to Canvas@oregonstate.edu:

  • Canvas course code (e.g., TST_101_001_W2020) in which the incomplete was given
  • Student(s) name and ONID or student ID

We will re-activate the course for you and the indicated student(s). You may need to adjust assignment due dates and/or availability dates for the student(s).

Additionally, to re-enable the course for you and the student(s) with an incomplete grade, all other student enrollments in the course are concluded. To see these students and their grades after we process your request, you will need to enable viewing concluded students in Grades.

Alternative: Student will complete work in a current term course

If the student is required to complete work that requires interactions with classmates to resolve an incomplete, the instructor of the current term course should send the following information to Canvas@oregonstate.edu:

  • Canvas course code (e.g., TST_101_001_W2020) in which the incomplete was given
  • Student(s) name and ONID or student ID
  • Canvas course code (e.g., TST_101_001_S2020) for the current term course to which the student should be added

We will add the student to the current term course. At the end of the term, the instructor of the current term course will need to work with the instructor (or departmental administrator) to ensure that the incomplete in the past term course is replaced with the final grade earned in the current term course.
