NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY

The California State University (CSU or University) is committed to maintaining an inclusive and equitable community that values diversity and fosters mutual respect.  We embrace our community differences in Age, Disability (physical and mental), Gender (or sex), Gender Identity (including nonbinary and transgender), Gender Expression, Genetic Information, Marital Status, Medical Condition, Nationality, Race or Ethnicity (including color, caste, or ancestry), Religion (or religious creed), Sexual Orientation, Veteran or Military Status. All Students and Employees have the right to participate fully in CSU programs, activities, and employment free from Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking and Retaliation.  The CSU Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation (Nondiscrimination Policy) is established in compliance with Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972,  Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance (34 C.F.R. 106.); The California Equity in Higher Education Act; The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (which amends the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and Campus Crimes Statistics Act, commonly known as the Clery Act) (VAWA) under its Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act provision (Campus SaVE Act); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; The Age Discrimination Act of 1975; and other applicable state and federal laws which prohibit Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation.

California State University, Fullerton is committed to creating an atmosphere in which all students have the right to participate fully in its programs and activities free from unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation. The “CSU Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation (Nondiscrimination Policy),” was issued in response to the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (the SaVE Act) and related guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, addressing Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972.

It is the policy of the CSU that no student or applicant for admission as a student shall, on the basis of protected status, be unlawfully excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of any CSU program or activity. Nor shall a student or applicant for admission as a student be otherwise subjected to unlawful discrimination, harassment or retaliation for exercising any rights under this executive order.

Discrimination is prohibited by Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Sections 508 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Act, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, including all subsequent amendments and administrative regulations adopted thereunder by the Department of Education and Department of Labor.

Employees and students who violate the Nondiscrimination Policy may be subject to discipline. If employee discipline is appropriate it shall be administered in a manner consistent with applicable collective bargaining agreements, CSU policies and legal requirements. Discipline of a student shall be administered in accordance with Section 41301 of Title 5, California Code of Regulations and CSU Executive Order 1098, or any superseding executive order, if applicable.

OPEN UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT

Open University Enrollment allows students not currently admitted to CSUF to take courses from the regular (state-support) university schedule of degree classes.

Individuals may request to enroll in courses at the undergraduate level (100-400 level) where they have read course descriptions and can acknowledge they meet the stated prerequisites or have completed the equivalent of those courses. Some academic departments may ask to see an unofficial transcript at the approval level.

Graduate-level courses (500 level) require additional consultation and approvals before an individual may start the request-to-add permission process. Individuals consult directly with the graduate advisor/program before requesting to add this type of course. Individuals may not enroll into any 600-level doctoral courses through Open University.

Although students may request to add closed or wait-listed classes, Open University Enrollment is on a space-available basis, after admitted students have had the opportunity to enroll.

A maximum of 24 units earned through Open University may count towards a bachelor's degree at CSUF. Credit earned through Open University may not be used to fulfill the residence requirements (30 semester units) for a bachelor's degree at CSUF. For graduate degrees at CSUF, normally 9 units may apply. Individuals should consult the graduate department advisor. Disqualified (DQ) undergraduate students from CSUF may not enroll in more than six (6) units in Spring, Summer, or Fall terms and no more than three (3) units in a Winter term. Participation in Open University enrollment does not constitute admission to the university.
