Middlebury Handbook

A grade of In Progress (IP) is assigned only in those courses for which the principal requirement of the course is unfinished by the end of an academic term, e.g., a capstone, thesis,practicum, or program portfolio. In these cases, an “I” (Incomplete) is not appropriate. Those programs that utilize the IP grade option may have different requirements for the amount of time provided to complete the work and remove the IP.  Students should consult the associate dean of academic operations with questions.
