Academic Regulations
California State University, Fresno, while
pursuing other activities that may assist
in clarifying the student’s educational
goals. The intent of the policy is to make
it possible for a student to suspend his or
her academic work and later resume
studies with a minimum of procedural
difficulty. A student who is approved for
a planned leave will be considered a
continuing California State University,
Fresno student. A student with an
undergraduate degree objective may,
therefore, enroll for classes at the end of
an approved leave without reapplying for
admission and may continue at Califor-nia
State University, Fresno without
changing graduation requirements.
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 objec-tive,
which in the judgment of the ap-propriate
admissions official, contrib-utes
to his or her educational goals and
objectives.
2. The request must be for a specific period
of time which shall not exceed four con-secutive
semesters.
3. The student must plan to return to Cali-fornia
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 recom-mended
by the director of international
student services and programs; educa-tional
opportunity program students by
an EOP counselor.
4. Petitions for planned educational leaves
must be filed (with the appropriate rec-ommendation)
at the Admissions Office
before the first day of classes for the
satisfactory, may apply toward baccalau-reate
requirements. However, all work
must remain legible on the record
ensuring a true and complete academic
history.
In order to qualify for renewal, all of the
following conditions must be met:
1. Five years must have elapsed since the
most recent work to be disregarded was
completed.
2. It must be evident that the poor level of
work represented by the term(s) under
consideration is not representative (see
No. 3) of the student’s usual academic
performance and was due to extenuating
circumstances.
3. The student must have completed the
following in residence at California State
University, Fresno since the most recent
work to be disregarded was completed:
a. 15 semester units with at least a 3.0
GPA or
b. 30 semester units with at least a 2.5
GPA or
c. 45 semester units with a 2.0 GPA
Work completed at another institution
cannot be used to satisfy this request.
4. It must be evident that it would be
necessary for the student to complete
one or more additional terms in order to
qualify for the baccalaureate degree if the
request were not approved, i.e., that the
student would have less than a 2.0 grade
point average in one or more of the
following:
a. Cumulative collegiate coursework
b. All California State University, Fresno
coursework
c. Coursework required for the major
5. This policy may not be used in concert
with any other academic forgiveness
policy impacting particular academic
term(s).

academic renewal, contact the Admis-sions
Office, (559) 278-2191.
Planned Educational Leave of Absence
— Undergraduate Degree-Seeking
Students. A planned educational leave of
absence is defined as a planned interrup-tion
or pause in a student’s regular
education during which the student
temporarily ceases formal studies at
Records Office Service Windows, Joyal
Administration Building, by the last day
of the semester/term during which the
course is being repeated. Requests
submitted after this date will be assessed
a late fee.
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 or master’s degree 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 doctoral or master’s
degree program is used in determining
the student’s grade point average and
graduation eligibility.
For further information, see the Schedule
of Courses or the Grade Substitution
petition form which is available at the
public contact windows, North Lobby,
Joyal Administration Building.
Academic Renewal. Under certain
circumstances, the university may
disregard up to two semesters (three
quarters) of previous undergraduate
coursework taken at California State
University, Fresno or at any other college
from all considerations associated with
requirements for the baccalaureate
degree. When such action is approved,
the student’s permanent academic record
is marked to indicate that no work taken
during the disregarded term(s), even if
