Incomplete Grade Petition

Northwestern undergraduate students may request an incomplete grade of Y only in a course in which they have substantially completed the work, including any requirements of attendance or engagement.

The university minimally requires that more than 50% of the course requirements must be complete in order for the course to be “substantially completed.” Students must also be passing the course based on the materials submitted thus far to be eligible for an incomplete Y grade. If these conditions are not met, your petition may be denied.

To request an incomplete grade, this form must be filled out and approved by your course instructor no later than the final class meeting of the quarter. Once submitted, it will be sent to your instructor and the Undergraduate Dean for approval. If/when it is fully approved, you will receive an email notification at your Northwestern email.
