Incomplete Courses
If the instructor decides there is sufficient reason to permit a delay in the submission of required term work, they may extend the deadline for your work until after the end of the course. In this case, the instructor will submit a grade of K (incomplete).

Students’ deadlines for submitting their work must be scheduled appropriately before these dates to ensure that the work can be assessed and the grade submitted on time.
It is important to note that instructors may impose earlier deadlines than those listed above.
If grades to clear Ks have not been submitted by the above deadlines, the K is automatically changed to a KF and counts as an F in the GPA.
Students with a grade of K who have serious extenuating circumstances may request an extension of the K deadline (KE) from the Associate Dean or Director of their faculty.
For more information, see Grading and Grade Point Averages (GPA).
Requests must be made to the instructor for consideration. If your request is approved, the instructor will inform you of the extension deadline, and submit a grade of K (incomplete). However, it is important that you also see a Faculty advisor in Dawson Hall to talk about your options and the effects that your request may have on your studies. For more information, see mcgill.ca/students/advising.
If the required work has not been submitted by the deadline, a grade of KF will be updated on the student's record. A KF denotes a failed course and is calculated in the student's TGPA and CGPA as an F. This in turn may impact the student's academic standing, changing this to either Probationary or Unsatisfactory and requiring that they immediately follow the outlined conditions.
