What is the time limit for removal of an Incomplete (IN?
According to the USC Catalogue and USC Department of Grades, marks of IN must be removed within one calendar year from the date the assignment of the IN. An earlier deadline may be assigned based on the instructor’s request. If not removed within the designated time, marks of IN automatically become marks of IX (expired incomplete) and are calculated in the grade point average as an F (0 points). Courses offered on a credit/no credit basis or taken on a pass/no pass basis for which a mark of IN is assigned will be lapsed with a mark of NC (no credit) or NP (no pass) and will not be calculated into the grade point average. A student may petition the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures (CAPP) for an extension of time to complete an incomplete. Extensions beyond the specified time limit are rarely approved, particularly if the student has enrolled in subsequent semesters, since the removal of the incomplete should be the student’s first priority.
