1. one hour of classroom or direct faculty
instruction and a minimum of two hours
of out-of-class student work each week
for approximately fifteen weeks for one
semester or trimester hour of credit, or
ten to twelve weeks for one quarter hour
of credit, or the equivalent amount of
work over a different amount of time;
or
2. at least an equivalent amount of work
as required in paragraph (1) of this
definition for other academic activities as
established by the institution, including
laboratory work, internships, practica,

period. In courses in which “seat time” does
not apply, a credit hour may be measured

Career Placement Policy
The Career Services Office may furnish,
upon request, information about the em-ployment
of students who graduate from
programs or courses of study preparing
students for a particular career field. Any
such data provided must be in a form that
does not allow for the identification of any
individual student. This information may
include data concerning the average start-ing
salary collected from graduates of the
campus or of the CSU system.
Safety Checklist
In case of an emergency, students can dial
“911” from campus pay phones for assis-tance.
Blue light/yellow light emergency
phones provide a direct line to the police
dispatcher. Practice safety measures: be
aware of who is nearby, never open the
door without checking who is there, have
car keys in hand and check inside the car
before entering, use well-traveled routes
well-lighted areas, and keep outside doors
locked. During hours of darkness, the Uni-versity
Police Department will provide an
escort on campus or to a nearby residence
upon request. For more information, see
the Class Schedule.
Service Learning Policy
Education at California State University,
Fresno includes the opportunity to serve
the people of California. This is partially
accomplished by the link of academic study
to community service. Service-learning
is a method by which students learn and
develop through active participation in
organized service, which is conducted in
and meets the needs of the community. This
service is integrated into and enhances the
academic curriculum and provides students
with structured opportunities for critical
reflection on their service experience. It also
enhances students’ appreciation of them-selves
and societal and civic issues, as well
as encourages students’ commitment to be
active citizens throughout their lives.
Reservation to Deny Admission
The university reserves the right to select its
students and deny admission to the univer-sity
or any of its programs as the university,
in its sole discretion, determines appropriate,
based on an applicant’s suitability and the
best interests of the university.
Smoking Policy
The university is a smoke-free campus except
for officially posted designated smoking
areas. In addition, the use of smokeless
tobacco in any form shall not be permitted
in any classroom or other enclosed building.
The use of smokeless tobacco is strongly
discouraged outdoors. More information
and a current map of designated smoking
areas are available online at www.fresnostate.
