This guide demmonstrates how to fill out the Incomplete Request Form, which you'll do for each student receiving an Incomplete in a Canvas course.
⚠️ Notes:
- This form must be completed before the last day of the term and must be digitally signed by both you and the student. It is an electronic form and should be accessed through a web browser each time it is used.
- Completing this form does not replace any additional steps required to issue an Incomplete grade. You are still responsible for every step outlined in the Incomplete Process Step-by-Step Tutorial guide.
Step-by-Step:
- Access the Form: Click the Incomplete Request Form link to open it in your browser. Use this same link every time.
