<p>I just reread it and, again, Harvard does not grant incompletes to undergraduates. The handbook states this explicitly. Extensions can be granted by professors up to the end of the examination period. For medical reasons, a student can petition the Administrative Board for an extension equal to the period of time missed due to illness. If the extension granted is for dates after the exams and/or make-up exams, for two or more courses, then the student cannot register for the next semester without special permission of the Ad Board.</p>
<p>As we were told, and I interpret, this is very different from “incompletes,” which are notated as such on the grade report, and allow work to be done in the summer or, in some cases, even in the next year.</p>
<p>Again, not a complaint. Our daughter loves Harvard.</p>
