withdrawal. For purposes of subsequent registration and catalog determination, students are considered as having been enrolled
for that semester.
A student who withdraws from the university after the tenth day of instruction and who is in good academic standing (not
disqualified) is eligible to enroll the following two semesters without reapplying for admission. A student not enrolled for two
or more consecutive semesters must reapply and pay the application fee. Contact the Evaluations Office regarding possible
consequences if you remain away from California State University, Fresno more than one calendar year.
Consult the Admissions, Records, and Evaluations Web site at www.fresnostate.edu/are for specific withdrawal instructions,
procedures and deadlines.
Request for Record Adjustment. The university recognizes that on rare occasions students will experience exceptional
situations that prohibit them from completing some procedures in a timely manner. A student may petition for a record
adjustment if a documented hardship occurred during the term for which the adjustment is requested, or in instances where the
student will suffer a significant academic hardship if the request is not granted. Contact the Admissions and Records Office for
further information.
Nonattendance. During the first week of classes, it is the responsibility of students to attend each class meeting of courses in
which they are enrolled. Students absent from any class meeting during this period are responsible for personally contacting
their instructor by the next class meeting to request being retained in the class.
In addition, as a courtesy to other students attempting to add and as a courtesy to the faculty, students who decide to
drop a class should do so immediately. Students must not assume that instructors will exercise their option to submit an
Administrative Withdrawal. In short, it still is the responsibility of the student to withdraw properly from any class he/she does
not intend to complete. Failure to withdraw will result in the assignment of the appropriate failing grade, WU or NC.
Further, in order to permit students on waiting lists to enroll in a class, instructors may administratively withdraw from
their classes students who are absent from any class session during the first week of classes and do not personally notify the
instructors by the next class meeting of their intent to remain in the course.
Repetition of Courses. An undergraduate student can repeat only 28 total units during their undergraduate career. Of those
28 units, 16 units can be used toward grade substitution and 12 units can be used toward grade averaging. Grade substitution
is the circumstance in which the new grade replaces the former grade (see policy on grade substitution). Grade substitution
is not applicable to courses for which the original grade was the result of a finding of academic dishonesty. Grade averaging
is when the repeat grade shall not replace the original grade; instead both grades shall be calculated into the student's overall
grade point average. Undergraduate students can only repeat courses for which the original grade earned is lower than a C.

Preprofessional Preparation
Preprofessional programs are available for students who plan to transfer to other institutions for the completion of professional
curricula in such fields as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, architecture, theology,
librarianship, chiropractic therapy, osteopathic medicine, and podiatric medicine. Some of these programs are described here.
Students planning to complete a pre-professional program and degree at California State University, Fresno must complete a
major offered at this university. They should include their preprofessional area plus their university major on all registration
forms; for example, premedical-chemistry, premedical-biology, prelaw-history, prelaw-political science. There are no
preprofessional majors per se. Instead, preprofessional students work toward various university degrees and while doing so,
incorporate into their college programs courses required for entry into professional schools.
Careful program planning is important in order to select proper classes and complete requirements in a timely way. Regular
advising is essential since professional schools change their requirements occasionally. Preprofessional students should contact
their respective major and preprofessional advisers before enrolling in classes each semester to stay abreast of changes.
