Academic Regulations

Degree Audit Reporting System
(DARS). DARS is a tool that assists in
the advising process. Students can print
their own DARS report through self-service.
The DARS report shows the
student’s progress in a chosen degree
program, using courses taken at Califor-nia
State University, Fresno and transfer
institutions. The DARS report displays
how courses apply toward the student’s
declared major, General Education, and
degree requirements. It also displays a list
of approved courses for each requirement
to be completed.
Double-Counting. Allowing one course
to fulfill two separate requirements
concurrently; e.g., allowing one course to
fulfill both a major requirement and the
upper-division writing skills requirement,
or allowing one course to fulfill both a
major requirement and General Educa-tion
requirement.
Electives. Courses/units a student selects
to complete the total unit requirement
for the baccalaureate degree and/or to
complete requirements for the major.
Grade Point Average (GPA). The grade
point average is a measure of academic
scholarship and performance which is
computed by dividing units registered
into grade points earned. Three separate
GPAs are computed:
1. Cumulative GPA for all baccalaureate or
postbaccalaureate units by degree objec-tive
Concurrent Enrollment. The term
concurrent enrollment is used to describe
several different types of enrollment:
1. Open University Enrollment. Non-matriculated
students may enroll in
regular California State University,
Fresno classes through the Continuing
and Global Education. (See Extended
Education.)
2. Concurrent Enrollment at Other CSU
Campuses. CSU students may attend two
CSU campuses simultaneously. This type
of enrollment is not often used by Cali-fornia
State University, Fresno students
because of the distance to other CSU
campuses. (See the registrar for details.)
3. Concurrent Enrollment at a Non-CSU
College or University. While enrolled
at California State University, Fresno,
students may enroll for additional courses
at another institution outside the CSU
system. The courseload in the combined
enrollment program may not exceed
the maximum unit load restrictions for
California State University, Fresno.
