Starting this semester, students across all NYU schools can request temporary extensions if they\u2019re suddenly unable to finish their coursework before the end of the semester, in an effort to homogenize department-specific policies \u2014\u00a0many of which previously failed students with an incomplete status.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The policy allows students at NYU\u2019s three degree-granting campuses to request an \u201cincomplete\u201d grade if they have overdue coursework due to unforeseen circumstances. Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education Mark Siegal <\/span>said the policy<\/span><\/a> standardizes deadlines and instructions for students and faculty, clarifying expectations that used to differ across schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal, which was achieved, was for the schools to come together to collaborate on a single policy and common procedures so that undergraduate students do not have different systems to navigate depending on which course they are taking,\u201d Siegal said in a statement to WSN.<\/span><\/p>\n

Siegal said the Gallatin School of Individualized Study spearheaded the policy changes based on an analysis of their own incomplete grade outcomes. The provost\u2019s office then arranged meetings with a committee of students and faculty from each school to collaboratively draft the unified policy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Siegal added that the incomplete grade committee\u2019s work also \u201cinspired\u201d the formation of the Academic Policy Working Group, a universitywide coalition of administrators, students and faculty that aims to collaboratively address issues related to academic policies. The group will share department-specific policy updates, challenges and initiatives in an effort to evaluate potential universitywide policies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new policy also introduces a contingency grade which instructors are required to assign in case a student fails to submit their required coursework by the deadline. While the university encourages earlier deadlines to prevent a pileup of work, extensions can technically last until two weeks before the following semester\u2019s final exams \u2014 meaning work from the fall semester could be turned in late April, and work from the spring semester could be turned in late November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students who are receiving state or federal financial aid, which are often reliant on maintaining satisfactory academic progress, may face delays receiving their scholarships because \u201cincomplete\u201d is not considered a passing grade. NYU\u2019s satisfactory academic progress standards view \u201cI\u201d grades as attempted, but not earned credits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NYU Abu Dhabi will not offer \u201cI\u201d grade for its January and summer terms, and study away students need to file the request through their site\u2019s academic office.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt will provide a dedicated and supportive space for schools to come together to learn about each other\u2019s policies and acknowledge and optimize the impacts they have on students across the global network,\u201d Siegal said. \u201cThrough bringing these key individuals together regularly, the intent is to strengthen and integrate the academic experience for undergraduate students in New York and globally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
