Incomplete Grade Contract

Create an Incomplete Grade Contract

An Incomplete (“I”) may be granted when a student, due to uncontrollable circumstances, cannot complete the final 40% of course requirements—typically the final exam or last major assignment. Missing early or mid-term work should be resolved during the term or by withdrawing.

Students who have been approved for an incomplete grade can create their Incomplete Grade Contract through one.ou.edu.

How to Complete Your Contract

  1. Open a web browser and go to one.ou.edu.
  2. Sign in using your OU ID and password.
  3. From the Dashboard, locate the Incomplete Contracts section and select Create Contract.

INCOMPLETE GRADE CONTRACT DETAILS

  • If a student misses the final exam or assignment, the instructor should assign a grade based on completed work, counting unsubmitted work as zero.
  • Instructors must notify students before assigning an Incomplete.
    • If a student later provides a valid reason, the instructor may retroactively assign an “I.” 
  • Instructors may request written proof of the circumstances.
  • Both student and instructor must agree on completion terms and both must sign the Incomplete Grade Contract.
    • Copies should be retained by both parties and filed in the department office.
  • The time allowed to complete the course may not exceed one calendar year.
  • An exception to the one-year rule may be considered by student petition to the faculty member, with approval by the college dean/dean’s designee.
  • An “I” is neutral and will not affect the student’s GPA.
  • If a grade change isn’t submitted within a year, the ‘I’ becomes permanent. Once permanent, the student may re-enroll to complete the course.

The complete policy is available in the Student Handbook, section 4.8.8.1 - Grading Regulations Related to Incompletes.
