How to Request an Incomplete Grade (INC)

To request an INC grade, begin by communicating with your professor and explaining the special circumstances that have led to your request for an INC grade. If your instructor is open to considering your request for an INC grade, follow the steps below to submit your request.

  1. Go to MyLaVerne. 
  2. Click MyLaVerne under Quicklinks
  3. Click on Student Services and Financial Aid.
  4. Click on Student Records.
  5. Click on View/Request Incomplete Grade.
  6. Select the appropriate term.
  7. Select the appropriate CRN/course.
  8. Fill out the Incomplete Contract.
    • Be specific about the nature of your circumstances and why you are requesting the INC.
    • In the “Completed Work” section, type in all of the assignments you have completed in the course, your grade on each of those assignments and the percentage of the total course grade each assignment fulfills.
    • In the “Work Required” section, type in all of the assignments you still need to complete in order to finish the course and the percentage of the total course grade each missing assignment will fulfill. You may need to refer to your course syllabus for information about what percentage of the total course grade each assignment you have completed fulfills.
      • TIP: The percentages entered in the “Completed Work” section and the percentages entered for the “Work Required” section should add up to 100% when you add all of the lines together.
    • If you intend to complete your work in this class before the standard deadlines described on the contract, enter an earlier date in the MM/DD/YYYY format. Make sure to enter the complete four-digit year or the system will not accept your entry.
  9. Submit the contract by pressing the Submit button at the bottom of the screen.
  10.  To view the status, log back into the system and follow steps 1-7 above. Your completed contract will display and the status will be either:
    • “Accepted” – if your professor has approved the contract
    • “Rejected” – if your professor has declined the contract
    • “Pending” – if your professor has not yet considered your request for an incomplete.

TIP: If your contract has been approved, make sure that you read the final version carefully since your professor may have made changes to the information you filled out on the contract before approving your request.

If you have questions about the appropriate circumstances under which an INC grade should be granted or if you need to refer to the deadlines for completing an existing incomplete, please refer to the Course Catalog.
