Resolving an INC grade in a Psychology class

If you receive an INC in a Psychology course, your instructor should provide an INC Completion Plan that outlines specific deadlines for completing any missing work.

If you have received an INC in a Psychology class, but you have not received an INC Completion Plan, please reach out to your instructor first.

If you have difficulty reaching your instructor, please forward your previous email to the instructor to PsychAdvisor@brooklyn.cuny.edu to request assistance in facilitating your communication.

General information about INCs

Per the Brooklyn College Bulletin:


“A grade of Incomplete (INC) may be given at the discretion of the instructor when a student:

1) has satisfactorily completed most, but not all, course requirements, and

2) provides to the instructor evidence documenting the extenuating circumstances that prevent the completion of course requirements by the end of the semester. The instructor may change the grade of INC to another grade when the work has been completed.

An INC grade may also be given at the discretion of the instructor when a student

1) has been fulfilling course requirements but is absent from the final examination, and
2) provides to the instructor evidence documenting the extenuating circumstances that prevent the taking of the scheduled final examination. The instructor may change the grade of INC to another grade after the final exam has been taken.”

Students with extenuating circumstances should be in communication with their instructor as soon as possible.

Final deadlines for resolution of unresolved grades appear in the academic calendar posted each term, but instructors may set earlier deadlines. Students who do not meet the deadlines are assigned a grade of FIN, which equates as an F in the GPA calculation.
