# Converting Incompletes to Zero ## :new: Course Preference: Assign Zero Grade On The **Assign Zero Grade On** course preference allows control over when grades are converted from an incomplete (dash) to a zero. By default, SIMnet will convert all grades without submissions to a zero at the due date. The new preference allows additional control over when to assign a zero for incomplete work: * **Do Not Assign Grade**: Incomplete assignments will not be converted to a zero grade. * **Assignment Due Date** (default): Incomplete assignments will be converted to a zero grade after the Due Date. * **Assignment End Date**: Incomplete assignments will be converted to a zero grade after the End Date. * **Course End Date**: Incomplete assignments will be converted to a zero grade after the Course End Date. {% hint style="info" %} **Hint**: Only assignments using date schedules are automatically converted to a zero. {% endhint %}
