tenth day of instruction and through the
20th day of instruction, all adds require
permission from the instructor or the
department. After the offi cial census date
(20th day of instruction) adding is no
longer allowed.
A student may drop a course without
permission up through the 20th day
of instruction. After the 20th day of
instruction, a student may drop a course
for a serious and compelling reason that
makes it impossible for the student to
complete course requirements. A serious
and compelling reason is defi ned as an
unexpected condition that is not present
prior to enrollment in the course that
unexpectedly arises and interferes with a
student’s ability to attend class meetings
and/or complete course requirements.
The reason must be acceptable to and
verifi ed by the instructor of record and
the department chair in which the course
is offered. The condition must be stated
in writing on the appropriate form. The
student must provide documentation
that substantiates the condition. Failing
or performing poorly in a class is not
an acceptable serious and compelling
reason within the university policy, nor
is dissatisfaction with the subject mat-ter,
class or instructor. During the fi nal
three weeks of instruction, dropping an
individual course is not permitted unless
special approval is given by the dean of
Undergraduate Studies in cases such as
accident or illness where the cause of
the drop is due to circumstances beyond
the student’s control. If the student has
completed a signifi cant portion of the
required coursework, incomplete grades
are often assigned.
Complete Withdrawal. A student may
totally (completely) withdraw from all
courses up through the fourth week of
instruction without any restriction or
penalty. Complete withdrawal after the
fourth week of instruction and up to the
last three weeks of instruction, are only
approved for a documented serious and
compelling reason. Permission to with-draw
during this time shall be granted
only with the approval of each individual
instructor(s) and the department chair(s)
of the department in which each course is
offered. Undergraduate students will not
be allowed to withdraw from more than
a total of 18 semester units during their
undergraduate career at Fresno State.
Complete withdrawal during the last
three weeks of instruction is not permit-ted.
Exceptions are only allowed where
the cause of the withdrawal is due to cir-cumstances
clearly beyond the student’s
control and the assignment of incom-plete
grades in all classes is not practical.
Students are responsible for obtaining
the approval of the instructors of each of
their courses, the department chairs for
the department in which the courses are
offered, and the Dean of Undergraduate
Studies or the Dean of Graduate Stud-ies,
as appropriate. The 18 units limit,
described above, does not apply when the
withdrawal is approved during the last
three weeks of the semester.
If a student withdraws through the fi rst
four weeks of instruction, only the date
of withdrawal is posted on the permanent
record. If the student withdraws after
the fi rst four weeks, a W is posted for
each class as well as the offi cial date of
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 uni-versity
after the tenth day of instruction
and who is in good academic standing
(not disqualifi ed) is eligible to enroll the
following two semesters without reapply-ing
for admission. A student not enrolled
for two or more consecutive semesters
must reapply and pay the application fee.

possible consequences if you remain away

procedures and deadlines.
Request for Record Adjustment. The
university recognizes that on rare occa-sions
students will experience exceptional
situations that prohibit them from com-pleting
some procedures in a timely man-ner.
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 signifi cant
academic hardship if the request is not
granted. Contact the Admissions and
Records Offi ce for further information.
Nonattendance. During the fi rst 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 stu-dents
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 instruc-tors
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, instruc-tors
may administratively withdraw from
their classes students who are absent from
any class session during the fi rst 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 undergradu-ate
student can repeat only 28 total units
during their undergraduate career. Of
those 28 units, 16 units can be used to-ward
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 fii nding of academic dishonesty.
Grade averaging is when the repeat grade
shall not replace the original grade; in-stead
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.
