Don’t email your professor asking (or complaining) about your grades. If you want to discuss the grade you have received on an assignment, make an appointment with your professor or stop by during office hours. Also, don’t email your professors asking if they have finished grading a particular assignment.
You don’t so much take an Incomplete as ask for one. The procedure is pretty straightforward: you need to discuss the possibility with your instructor by the last day of class. If your instructor is willing, then the two of you will work out a plan to complete your remaining work in the course.
Briefly describe the reason for your email.
Get to the point of your concern as soon as possible. This will help your professor understand your concern and provide feedback in a timely manner. You may state, “I am writing in regards to the grade I received on my term paper.”

In this case, the student must contact his or her instructor to inquire about the possibility of getting an I grade. The request should be submitted prior to the last day of class. In the request, students should identify the assignments that remain and the timeline of when the missing assignments will be submitted.
Regardless of the prof’s perspective, the “I” policy is there for a reason. … Your prof may refuse for a valid reason–such as that he/she will be on leave for the next term or academic year–and the division chair might be able to find someone else to take the “I” over.
How do you ask if there is class today? If you wanted to be extra polite, you could say something like, “excuse me, I was just wondering if there is class today?” Or, “could you tell me whether we have class today?” Hi Rafaelle, The best way to make a question sound more polite is by using an “indirect question.”

Classes that are dropped at the beginning of the term generally do not show up on the student’s permanent record. Withdrawing from a class later in the term usually results in a “W” appearing on the student’s transcript. The “W” has no effect on the student’s GPA (Grade Point Average).
P: Pass. For credit courses, the grade of “P” may be assigned and is defined as a grade point average of 2.0 or higher. The “P” grade is not used to complete the GPA. Note: Upon transfer, some educational institutions may convert the “P” grade to a “C” for purposes of grade point average calculation.
The IP grade is a placeholder grade for courses extending beyond one quarter, and for MD students in longitudinal programs. IP grades are converted to final grades after the course sequence concludes with a final grade.
