course activities, or both were insufficient to make normal evaluation of academic performance possible. For purposes of
grade point average computation this symbol is equivalent to an F. The WU will not revert to any other grade. Undergraduate
students may withdraw from no more than 18 semester units.
Withdrawal (W). The W symbol indicates that the student was permitted to drop the course after the fourth week of
instruction for serious and compelling reasons with the approval of the instructor and appropriate campus officials. It carries no
connotation of quality of student performance and is not used in calculating grade point average. Undergraduate students may
withdraw from no more than 18 semester units.
Grading Policies and Practices
Grading. Students are expected to complete all requirements for a class by the end of the semester unless an incomplete is
permitted by the instructor in accordance with university policy. Students shall not be assigned additional work or be allowed
to revise previous assignments in order to improve a final grade.
College Syllabus and Record Keeping. All faculty members shall provide students at the beginning of each semester a
syllabus or outline stating course goals and objectives including grading methodology, types and number of projects, written
assignments, tests, experiments, etc.
Dean's List and President's List. Undergraduate students enrolled in at least 12 units during a regular matriculated term,
earning no grade lower than a C, and earning at least a 3.5 grade point average (GPA) for the term are placed on the Dean's
List for that term and a note is added to their transcript. Students meeting these requirements and having a 4.0 GPA for the
term are placed on the President's List.
Repeating Courses. Undergraduate students may register for courses a second time only if they earned a grade of D, F, IC, or
WU during the first attempt and they have not exceeded 28 units of repeated coursework.
Undergraduate students may not register to take a course more than two times until they complete the required paperwork,
meet with the major adviser, obtain verification of all of the following conditions, and submit the verification to the major
department chair for approval:
1. they have not exceeded 28 units of repeated coursework,
2. they received a grade of D, F, IC, or WU upon the second attempt of the course,
3. the course to be repeated is a program requirement,
4. the program they are pursuing requires a grade of C or higher in the course to fulfill a program requirement, and
5. there are no other courses in the catalog that can be used to fulfill the program requirement.
The chair will not grant this approval unless all of these conditions are met.
If the request is approved, the student submits the required paperwork to the Admissions and Records Office.
Grade Substitution by Repetition of Courses. An undergraduate student may grade substitute up to 16 semester units
of undergraduate coursework at California State University, Fresno. If the original grade was D, F, WU, or IC, and the
subsequent grade is the same or higher, the new grade will be substituted for the original grade. Only the substituted grade will
be used in determining the student's grade point average. Grade substitution can be used only once for an individual course.
If the original grade was C, CR, or better, the course cannot be repeated. A student may repeat a total of 28 units, 16 of which
may be used for grade substitution, as described above, and 12 units of which can be averaged.
A course in which a grade of NC was earned may be repeated but since the NC grade does not affect the grade point average,
no substitution is necessary; however, the repeat will count toward the 12 unit limitation of averaged units.
A course attempted at another institution may be repeated by enrolling in a regular California State University, Fresno course
determined by the Evaluations Office to be equivalent. A course for which grade substitution has been granted at another
institution may not be repeated for grade substitution at California State University, Fresno. In addition, a course taken at
California State University, Fresno may not be repeated for grade substitution at another institution.
Postbaccalaureate students pursuing (1) a second baccalaureate degree, (2) a second undergraduate major, (3) a teaching
credential, or (4) no specific objective, are also free to repeat a course and request grade substitution on the same basis as
undergraduates provided the original course was completed when the student had postbaccalaureate standing.
Postbaccalaureate students pursuing a doctoral degree, master's degree, or certificate of advanced study may, with approval
of an adviser, repeat a course for academic credit, regardless of what grade was originally earned in the course. However, the
student is not eligible to petition for grade substitution. All course work taken, beginning with the first term of the student's
