Last Attendance Date (LAD): This only needs to be assigned for students that have a final grade of F. If you are assigning a grade of F to a student, you will need to enter the LAD to be able to save the grade roster. If you are assigning a grade of F to a student who has never attended your class, please enter the LAD as the first day of the term or block: 

• Fall term began 8/26/2024 
• Fall block II began 10/21/2024 

When students receive federal aid and fail to successfully complete one course within a given semester (for example, earning all F’s), we are required to determine the last day the student attended class or engaged in an academic activity.

Incomplete grades cannot be assigned in HomerConnect. If you wish to assign an incomplete grade, please use the form in IC Workflow Incomplete Grade Request. 

“Incompletes are given only when a student is doing satisfactory work but cannot complete the course for a reason not related to academic performance (i.e., medical, family emergency).

To request an incomplete, a student must meet with the faculty instructor of their course and present a legitimate reason to justify the request. The faculty member and student then determine the terms of the completion of the course including specific assignments with criteria for assessment and due date, which can be no later than the end of the following semester. If no complete grade is received by the due date, a grade of F is recorded on the transcript. Undergraduate students may not graduate from Ithaca College with an incomplete recorded on the academic transcript.”

Incomplete grades can be submitted by faculty via IC Workflow until Sunday, December 22, by 5:00pm, and must be reviewed and approved by the Dean’s Office by 10:00pm. After the deadline, only NGS (no grade submitted) can be changed to an Incomplete grade using the Grade Change form in IC Workflow. Once the system reopens for grade change processing on Monday, December 23, after 4:00pm, you cannot change a posted letter grade to an Incomplete grade. 

To extend the deadline of an Incomplete, please email Stu Fegely at sfegely@ithaca.edu and include the student ID number, term, subject, course number, section number, CRN, and the new grade-submission deadline.
