Here is Helena College's policy on incompletes.
Incomplete
An incomplete ("I") grade may be given with the approval of the Registrar's Office when, in the opinion of the instructor, there is a reasonable probability that students can complete the course without retaking it and without instructor participation. The incomplete grade is not an option to be exercised at the discretion of the student and is given only in cases of extreme personal hardship or unusual academic situations.
Eligibility for an incomplete is determined within the following guidelines:
1. An incomplete may be assigned to a student when he or she has been in attendance and doing passing work up to three weeks before the end of the course, and for reasons beyond his or her control, he or she has been unable to complete the requirements on time. Negligence, indifference, or excessive absences are not acceptable reasons.
2. The instructor will set the conditions for completion of the coursework. When these conditions have been met, the instructor will assign a grade based upon an evaluation of the total work done by the student in the course.
3. An incomplete ("I") which is not made up during the next regularly scheduled semester will automatically convert to a grade of "F."

FVCC's maximum amount of time is 12 months; the instructor has the option to shorten that time at their discretion. If the "I" in not completed in the designated time frame it becomes an "F".

First I'd like to introduce myself, I'm the new Registrar at Rocky Mountain College! I'm excited to be working with all of you and I hope to meet you all in the future.
My question is in regards to incomplete grades. How long do you give students to complete missing course work so that their "I" grade doesn't turn to an "F" grade?
Thank you,
Annalea Avery
