The "Incomplete" Process

This page will walk both instructors and students through the full "incomplete" process. Instructors, please share this will students so they are aware of how they will access their newly assigned section and assignments.

Start with InSite

If a student has requested an incomplete in your course (and you have approved the request) you will need to first start the process in InSite.

Submit your final grade for that student on your roster. Rather than an A, B, C, etc., you will enter an "I" before whatever grade they currently have.
For example: if they currently have an F, but are going to work on that while they take an incomplete, the grade would be entered as "IF".
Once InSite has updated its grade information, return to the InSite homepage and select the "DVC Faculty Forms" tile.
From there, choose "Incomplete Grade Contract"
You'll need to locate your reporting Dean from the drop down menu.
Update the course and student information in the form that appears.

Once your InSite request has been submitted and approved, please complete our Canvas Service Request form to detail your need.

After your "Canvas Service Request" has been approved:

A new a section within the current/original course will be created. It will be titled "Incomplete - [section name]". Both you and the student(s) will be added to the "incomplete" section.
The date of that section only will be adjusted to reflect your request.

Re-Assign Your Assignments

You will need to update the assignments. quizzes, discussions, etc. that the student needs to complete with new "assign to" sections and due dates. Watch the process to get familiar with assigning to your incomplete section:

Important Note for Student Access

If students have their Canvas Dashboard set to "list view" they may struggle finding past enrolled courses. This gets especially difficult when they are trying to access incomplete sections within an archived course. Using the "all courses" search can be a bit cumbersome, but it is an option. Another option would be to change their dashboard view to "card view", which will show their incomplete course on their dashboard.
