Grade Designations Requiring Student Action

An INC is a temporary grade that may be assigned by an instructor when incomplete coursework or a missed final examination is outstanding due to documented extenuating circumstances and there is a reasonable expectation that the student can and will complete the work according to the timelines specified.

• The designation INC is not a final grade and is not included in calculating grade point averages or counted as credit to fulfill prerequisite requirements and program requirements
• INC designations appear on the official transcript and academic record. An outstanding INC may impact eligibility to graduate
• The completion date for the outstanding course work or the alternate examination must allow the grading to be completed and finalized on the student record within three months from the date official grades were available to students for the term the INC was assigned
• If the outstanding work has not been completed and the INC designation is not revised within this time frame, the INC designation will lapse to a failed (F) grade
• An outstanding INC will impact the ability to meet requirements to enrol in subsequent courses, including prerequisites, anti-requisites, co-requisites, and restrictions.

• Students must petition their instructor by completing the Incomplete Grade Request Form to receive an INC designation, within 3 (three) working days, or as soon as reasonably possible, of the missed final examination or assignment deadline. Supporting documentation (e.g. Toronto Metropolitan Health Certificate) must be provided
• If your instructor has assigned an INC, you must get a written statement from them within seven working days using the Incomplete Grade Request Form defining the outstanding work and a final deadline by which the outstanding work or alternate examination must be completed
• Incomplete grades that have not been resolved and/or revised by the three-month deadline for completion will lapse to F grades according to the following timelines: April 15 for fall term courses, August 1 for winter term Courses, and November 30 for spring/summer term courses

Credit granted by a Dean, in consultation with the instructor, only under exceptional circumstances when there has been acceptable performance in a course and some coursework remains to be completed.

The AEG grade is not included in calculating grade point averages but can be used as a credit towards meeting graduation requirements.

The AEG grade cannot be changed to any other grade or designation.

• The F-S grade can only be converted to a D- or to an F, depending on performance on the supplementary exam or assessment. (If no supplementary exam or assessment is written, the F-S grade on the student’s academic record and official transcript as the final grade)
• F-S grades are not available to students enrolled in programs that are subject to academic standing and graduation variation rules

• If you have been assigned an F-S grade and wish to write a redeemable failure exam, complete the Redeemable Failure Request Form through MyServiceHub
• Once you have submitted the request form and received the approval notification, contact your teaching department to make arrangements to write the redeemable failure exam
