PROGRAM PLANNING
To register for 19 units, a student must have an overall grade-point average
of 2.50; for 20 to 22 units, a student must have an overall grade-point average
of 3.00. Exceptions to these limits must be approved by the chairman of the
student's major department. An absolute limit of 22 units (excluding credit
by examination units) is enforced which may be waived only with the
approval of the Dean of the School of the student's major.
Enrollment in upper division courses is restricted to students with junior,
senior or graduate standing, or who have the necessary prerequisites.
Exceptions are subject to the approval of the instructor and department
chairman. Upper division credit may not be granted until students have
completed a minimum of 45 semester units. Only students who have been
fully approved for admission to credential programs may enroll in certain
education courses and qualify for a school service credential on the basis of
the university's recommendation.
Credit in any course is also subject to all restrictions which may appear in
the General Catalog. For restrictions on graduate study, see School of
Graduate Studies- Master's Degrees.
CHANCE OF MAJOR
Each undergraduate student who wishes to change his or her major must
report to the Office of Advising Services to initiate the procedure.; graduate
students should report to the Graduate Office. The Office of Advising Services
will instruct the students on how to notify their old and new major
departments. Advising Services will see to it that the new major change is
recorded on the data base.
WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSES
A student is held responsible for the program of courses in which he or she
is officially registered. After registration no changes will be made or recorded
until appropriate add or drop forms have been completed and filed at the
Admissions-Records Office by the student. A student is urged to consult an
adviser before making a program change. If the class is dropped before the
end of the fourth week of classes, the course will not be recorded on the
permanent record. The end of the fourth week is defined as the end of the
twentieth instructional day of the semester.
After the fourth week, a student may drop a course only for serious and
compelling reasons which must be stated in writing with the drop form.
Serious and compelling reasons include illness, accident, a change in work
hours or a significant increase in work hours and responsibilities which make
it impossible for a student to continue with his or her program of record. Such
circumstances may be verified with the attending physician or employer.
Personal dislike or dissatisfaction with the subject matter, class or instructor,
failure to perform satisfactorily and the threat of a poor evaluation are not
serious and compelling reasons within the university policy. If the drop is
approved, a W grade will be assigned (see current Schedule of Courses).
Withdrawals are not permitted during the final three weeks of instruction
except in cases such as accident or serious illness where the cause of
withdrawal is due to circumstances beyond the student's control. If the
student has completed a significant portion of the required course work,
" Incomplete" grades are often assigned in such cases. Normally, withdrawal
