In May 1996, the Faculty approved the CAP proposal to reform the Institute's policy on Incompletes issued to undergraduate students. The Form must include the anticipated completion date and indicate what the final grade would be if no other work were to be done in the subject. By the last day of the regular term during which the work was to have been completed, instructors must submit final grades based on the work completed. If no final grade is submitted, the grade indicated on the Instructor's Report Form will be the final grade recorded. No grade of Incomplete may be assigned to any undergraduate in the semester in which he or she graduates and all grades of Incomplete must be resolved prior to graduation.
Exercises begin five minutes after and end five minutes before the scheduled hour or half-hour.
Major assignments should be assigned early enough to allow students the opportunity to manage their time effectively throughout the term.
