NYU Standardizes Policy for Incomplete Grades
Starting this semester, NYU students can request temporary extensions if they are unable to finish coursework before the semester's end.
The policy allows students to request an "incomplete" grade due to unforeseen circumstances.
Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education Mark Siegal said the policy standardizes deadlines and instructions for students and faculty, clarifying expectations that used to differ across schools.
This change aims to homogenize department-specific policies, many of which previously failed students with an incomplete status.
