Issuing an Incomplete for a Student's Final Grade

Introduction

This tutorial reviews submitting an I - Incomplete grade for a student for their final grade for the course. To do this, you will change the Grade to Submit to MySPC to a zero. Note that the process of granting an Incomplete involves further steps on the instructor's part. 

Refer to the guide on Opening a Course for a Student with an Incomplete for the steps to take with a student after you submit an Incomplete for their grade.
 

You must complete this process before submitting your final grades. You CANNOT assign an incomplete once you're inside the Submit Final Grades screen.
