How Can I Receive an Incomplete Contract?

To be eligible for an incomplete contract, you must:

  • Have a non-academic situation that prevents you from finishing the class on time.
  • Have been passing and attending class through the full withdraw deadline.
  • Be able to finish the coursework with your instructor.
  • Not re-register or “sit in” the class to finish the coursework (unless special circumstances require attendance in a portion of a class or lab).
