Incomplete ("I") Grades
Students are expected to complete the course work for a class during the time designated. Occasionally, circumstances prevent timely completion and the student may request extra time to finish the work. A form to apply for such an extension is available from the Registrar. This form must be signed by the student, the instructor, and the Vice President of Instructional and Student Services.
In all cases, an "I" is given at the discretion of the instructor with the concurrence of the Vice President of Instructional and Student Services following these guidelines:
– The student has been in attendance, is doing passing work (C- or better), and has completed a minimum of 75% of the course.
– For reasons beyond the student's control, and which are acceptable to the instructor, he/she has been unable to complete the requirements of the course on time. In certain cases the Vice President of Instructional and Student Services may be requested to certify personal hardship cases.
– The instructor must set the conditions for the removal of the incomplete on an "application for incomplete" form which is provided by the Registrar. When completed by the instructor and signed by the instructor and the student, this form must be filed with the Registrar.
– The instructor determines the deadline for a student to fulfill the requirements outlined in the "application for incomplete" form (not to exceed the last day of the following semester).
– A grade of "incomplete" that is not made up in the prescribed time will automatically become an "F".
Here's Carroll's policy:
I incomplete is given only under unusual circumstances which cause a
delay in a student's completion of a course. The student must be doing
passing work after 60% of the course has been completed before an "I"
(incomplete) may be given. The student must make specific arrangements
including completion date (no later than the end of the following semester)
with the faculty member for the completion of the course. A formal written
Request for Grade of Incomplete must be filed in the Office of the Registrar
before the assignment of the grade as incomplete.
Our form asks for a completion date, which we enter into Colleague. If that date passes without a final grade being entered, the I automatically converts to an F. We have to monitor and fix the alternate grades manually.
Best,
Cassie

At UM, here is the guidance given to faculty:
-----
'I' (incomplete) is appropriate when a student has been in regular attendance and passing for a majority of the class meeting, but is unable to finish for reasons acceptable to you, within the semester. If you assign an incomplete grade and the alternate grade is not an 'F', then click on Link to Send Alternate Grades (other than 'F') For INCOMPLETE To Registrar's Office.
-------
After one year, we run a job to change remaining 'I' grades in Banner to whatever the alternate grade is.
