Registration
2002-2003 California State University, Fresno General Catalog 61
Excess Units/Enrollment Restrictions
— Postbaccalaureate/Graduate. To
enroll in 17 or more units, master’s
degree students must demonstrate a GPA
of 3.0 or better; credential students must
demonstrate a minimum GPA equivalent
to the admission standards of their
individual credential program. However,
if the credential program requires
enrollment in graduate-level (200-series)
coursework, the students must demon-strate
a 3.0 GPA or better. Second
baccalaureate/second undergraduate
major/nonobjective students may enroll
in 19 units if they possess a GPA of 2.5;
3.0 for 20-22 units. Graduate-level (200-
series) courses are unavailable to second
baccalaureate/major and nonobjective
students.
Change of Major. Each undergraduate
student who wishes to change his or her
major must do so at the Admissions/
Records service windows, Joyal Adminis-tration
Building, North Lobby, to
initiate the procedure. International
students report to the International
Admissions Office. New graduate and
postbaccalaureate students should report
to the Graduate Admissions Office and
continuing graduate and postbaccalaure-ate
students should report to the
Division of Graduate Studies Office.
Adding and Dropping Courses. A
student is held responsible for the
program of courses in which he or she is
officially registered. 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 is not recorded on the
permanent record. The end of the fourth
week is defined as the end of the 20th
instructional day of the semester.
Consult the current Schedule of Courses
for specific add/drop instructions,
procedures, and deadlines.
Adding Courses. Once registered, a
student may add courses through the end
of the second week of instruction.
Dropping Courses. Through the seventh
day of instruction, a student may drop
courses without a serious and compelling
reason.
After the seventh day of instruction, a
student may drop a course only for a
serious and compelling reason that makes
it impossible for the student to complete
course requirements. A serious and
compelling reason is defined as a medical,
emotional, or other condition acceptable
to and verified by the dean of the
college/school in which the course is
offered. The condition must be stated in
writing on the drop form. Upon signing
the form, the course instructor may add
a written recommendation to the college/
school dean in the space provided. The
dean may require that the student
provide written substantiation as deemed
necessary. 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 matter, class, or instructor.
During the final three weeks of instruc-tion,
dropping an individual course is
not permitted unless special approval is
given by the registrar 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 significant portion of the
required coursework, incomplete grades
are often assigned.
Complete Withdrawal. A student may
totally (completely) withdraw from all
courses up to the last three weeks of
instruction. Complete withdrawal is only
permitted during the last three weeks of
instruction in cases such as accident or
serious illness, where the cause of
withdrawal is due to circumstances
clearly beyond the student’s control. If a
student withdraws through the first four
weeks of instruction, only the date of
withdrawal is posted on the permanent
record. If the student withdraws after the
first four weeks, a W is posted for each
class as well as the official 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
university in good academic standing
(not disqualified) is eligible to enroll the
following semester without reapplying
for admission. A student remaining
unenrolled at the university for only one
semester and not enrolling at another
accredited institution during the interim
must apply for readmission, may use the
short application form available from the
Admissions Office, and is not required to
pay the application fee. However, a
student attending another accredited
institution or not enrolled for two or
more consecutive semesters must reapply
and pay the application fee. Contact the
Evaluations Office regarding possible
consequences if you remain away from
California State University, Fresno more
than one calendar year.
Consult the current Schedule of Courses
for specific withdrawal instructions,
procedures and deadlines.
Request for Record Adjustment. The
university recognizes that on rare
occasions students will experience
exceptional situations that prohibit them
from completing some procedures in a
timely manner. 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
significant academic hardship if the
request is not granted. Contact the
Admissions and Records Office for
further information.
Nonattendance. During the first 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
students attempting to add and as a
courtesy to the faculty, students who
decide to drop a class should do so
immediately by using the STAR system.
Students must not assume that instruc-tors
will exercise their option to submit
the Administrative Withdrawal Card. 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, U 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 first
week of classes and do not personally
notify the instructors by the next class
meeting of their intent to remain in the
course.
