SPRING SEMESTER 2023 REGISTRATION GUIDE

REPEAT POLICY

GRADE FORGIVENESS (16-UNIT LIMIT)

An undergraduate student may repeat up to 16 units of course work with 'Grade Forgiveness.' This category of repeat is used for grades of C- (1.7) or lower. In computing the grade point average of a student who repeats courses in which he or she received C- (1.7), only the most recently earned grades and grade points shall be used in the GPA calculation for the first 16 units repeated. In exercising this option, an undergraduate student must take and repeat the course at this campus. Repeat policy will be automatically applied to courses repeated each semester during final grade processing at the end of the term.

GRADES AVERAGED (12-UNIT LIMIT)

An undergraduate may repeat up to 12 units of course work with 'Grades Averaged', beginning Fall 2009 forward. Under this category of repeat, both grades are calculated into the student's GPA.

MAXIMUM REPEAT LIMIT (28-UNITS)

The 16 units of 'Grade Forgiveness' and the 12 units of 'Grades Averaged' comprise the maximum repeat limit of 28 units for an undergraduate student.

REGULATION AGAINST REPEAT OF COURSES WITH 'C' GRADE OR BETTER

Undergraduate students may not repeat a course in which a grade of 'C' or better has already been earned. This does not apply to those courses noted in the university catalog as "may be repeated for credit".

REGULATION AGAINST REPEAT OF A COURSE WITH AN 'I' CURRENTLY ON RECORD

A student may not re-enroll in a course for which he or she has received an 'I' until the 'I' has either been assigned a final grade, or been converted to an 'IC'.

WITHDRAWAL LIMIT

Undergraduate students are limited to a maximum of 18 units of withdrawal ("W" on transcript) during their CSUF career, from Fall 2009 forward.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Academic dishonesty includes such actions as cheating, submitting false information or citations, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, and helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty.

The initial responsibility for detecting and responding to academic dishonesty lies with the instructor concerned. An instructor convinced by reasonable evidence that a student is responsible for violating the academic dishonesty policy shall:

  1. Notify the student involved and provide the student an opportunity to respond to the complaint.
  2. Assign an appropriate academic penalty. This may range from an oral reprimand, a reduced score on the assignment or an F in the course.
  3. Report the student involved to the department chair and Student Conduct in the Dean of Students Office. The report should include information about the alleged incident, relevant documents and evidence, and the instructor's actions to address the incident.

The Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students shall maintain an academic dishonesty file of all cases with the appropriate documentation. When two or more incidents involving the same student occur, Student Conduct will initiate disciplinary proceedings. Students will be informed of their student conduct record any disciplinary proceedings under Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 41301, and Executive Order 1098, and relevant appeals processes accessible to them.

A student may appeal any action taken on an allegation of academic dishonesty under the University Policy Statement 300.030, Academic Appeals. See "Academic Appeals" in the "Student Affairs" section of the university catalog.

For undergraduate students who receive a grade of a C minus or lower due to disciplinary reasons such as academic dishonesty, the repetition of course policy for grade forgiveness shall not be applicable for the course in question.
