If you change your area of focus during your program, the new focus area must fall
under your field of study, or you will need to reapply to change your field of study.
Areas of focus can be changed (within the field of study) but first this needs to be
discussed with your academic advisor.

7. You must be registered for each semester (fall and spring) until
the semester you graduate.
See the Registrar’s website for policies on registration each
semester.
For Research Courses
You must complete
•A Registration Transaction Form (RTF, not the EZ) and
•A Research Course Request Form
These need to be signed by your advisor and the department
chairman.

9. The notation of I (Incomplete) may be recorded if a student, for reasons
beyond his or her control, is unable to complete the work of the course
AND if the instructor approves the reason before grades must be reported.
The I may be used only if the student's prior performance and class
attendance in the course have been satisfactory.
Failure to complete the work of a course that is not satisfactorily explained to the
instructor before the date when grades must be turned in will be graded F.
To Request an Incomplete, You Must
1. Complete a Request for Incomplete Grade form (available at the
EMSE department office)
2. Obtain the instructor’s approval
3. Return the form to 2nd floor Graduate Student Services Center

10. The I may remain on the record for a maximum of one year, but
the instructor should set a shorter period when the uncompleted
work must be made up.
An incomplete that is not removed within one calendar year or at
the time of graduation of the student (whichever occurs first) is
automatically changed to an IF.
The I cannot be removed by the student’s reregistering for the
course here or taking its equivalent elsewhere.
When the I is changed to a letter grade, the I followed by the letter
grade (e.g., IB) will appear on the student’s record.
EMSE students with 2 or more incompletes are not
allowed to enroll in future courses.
