Since an approved leave does not
affect time requirements for completion
of a credential or master's
degree, a planned leave - normally
- does not apply to students seeking
such objectives.
Planned educational leaves may be
granted for a variety of reasons or
projects, but certain characteristics
must be contained in any request for
a leave:
1. The student must have a definite
objective, which in the judgment of
the appropriate admissions official,
contributes to his or her educational
goals and objectives.
2. The request must be for a specific
period of time which shall not
exceed four consecutive semesters.
3. The student must plan to return
to California State University,
Fresno at the conclusion of his
or her leave.
The following regulations apply to
the planned educational leave:
1. A student currently enrolled in
a fully matriculated session may
be considered for a planned
educational leave.
2. A student may be granted only
one leave as an undergraduate
student. Planned educational
leaves are granted for up to four
consecutive semesters.
3. International students must be
recommended by the director of
international student services and
programs; educational opportunity
program students by an EOP
counselor.
4. Petitions for planned educational
leaves must be filed (With the
appropriate recommendation) at
the Admissions Office before the
first day of classes for the semester
during which the leave is to begin.
S. Leaves are not approved for students
in disqualified status or on contract
to remove academic deficiencies.
6. It is expected that a student will
devote his or her leave primarily to
nonclassroom activities. A leave is
not approved if the student plans to
attend another institution, unless
the coursework the student seeks is
not available at California State
University, Fresno. Any academic
credit earned while on a planned
educational leave is accredited by
California State University, Fresno
only if permission is granted for
that credit in advance by the
admissions officer.
7. Students who do not return to the
university at the conclusion of their
planned educational leave and those
who enroll elsewhere without permission
of the admissions officer
will be considered to have withdrawn
from the university at the
end of their last semester of regular
enrollment at California State
University, Fresno.
Students wishing to apply for a planned
educational leave should obtain a request
form from the admissions officer,
Joyal 106, (209) 278-219l.
Student Academic Petitions. The
Student Academic Petitions Committee
has the authority to permit exceptions
to university baccalaureate degree requirements
when fulfilling the degree
requirement would prove to be an un~
due hardship for the student and/or
such an exception can be demonstrated
to be educationally justifiable. The
committee wiU take action only upon
the submission of a formal petition
by the student that sets forth the facts
and circumstances that may warrant
special consideration.
Petitions and procedural information
are available in the Office of Advising
Services. The Petitions Committee
does not make decisions pertaining
to substitutions for undergraduate and
graduate major requirements. Such
requests are initiated through the
student's department. Requests to
waive established university policy
governing graduate study may be
addressed to the dean, Division of
Graduate Studies. If a request cannot
be accommodated, it is forwarded to
the Graduate Committee.
The Student Academic Petitions
Committee also has the responsibility
of handling grade protests for aU
students, undergraduate and postbaccalaureate.
Students, who believe
they have been graded unfairly or
incorrectly by an instructor, should
consult first with the faculty member
concerned within the first IS working
days of the following semester and
make every effort to resolve the issue.
(On many occasions when students
Academic Regulations c
contact the instructor about a grade
thought to be assigned unfairly, the
students learn that the instructor
actually made a recording error, which
is remedied when the instructor
obtains a Grade Correction Request
form from the departmental secretary
and submits the completed form to
the Petitions Committee.)
If the issue is not resolved, students
should then consult with the department
chair. If a student still believes
that the grade was assigned unfairly
or incorrectly after completing this
process, the student then may request
that the Student Academic Petitions
Committee review the issue. To request
such a reView, the student must
submit no later than midsemester a
written statement setting forth all
pertinent details to the coordinator
of advising services, who chairs the
Petitions Committee.
A full statement regarding IIProtection
Against Improper Academic Evaluation/
I and additional procedural
instructions may be obtained from the
Office of AdVising Services.

scholarship means at least a C average
(2.0 grade point average or twice as
many grade points as units attempted)
and satisfactory progress toward a

students without a master's
degree objective. Graduate (masterls

a B average.
Astudent (undergraduate, postbaccalaureate
or graduate) whose grade

based on total units attempted at
