Eligible students desiring to register for Independent Study must first obtain the consent of an instructor, who will guide the
project, and the chair of the department in which the course is given. Students must register for Independent Study courses
during the regular registration period in the same manner as they register for any other course at the time of registration.
An independent study course normally includes an oral examination by a committee set up by the supervising instructor, a
formal report that is filed in the department office, and an abstract of the study that is filed with the department chair. Approval
forms and copies of the current regulations may be obtained from department, school, or college offices. The entry on the
permanent record shows the discipline and course number only; the title does not appear.
Credit for Noncollegiate Instruction
This university grants undergraduate degree credit appropriate to the baccalaureate degree for successful completion of
noncollegiate instruction, either military or civilian, that has been recommended by the Commission on Educational Credit
and Credentials of the American Council on Education. The number of units allowed are those recommended in A Guide to
the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services and the National Guide to Educational Credit for Training
Programs.
Credit for Military Service Coursework
Lower-division elective credit is given for recruit training for initial entry into the service provided the student was on active
duty for at least one year and one day. Credit given varies depending on the branch of service and date of entry. An applicant
for credit must submit a copy of Notice of Separation (DD214) to Admissions and Records for review.
DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support) maintains the educational records of the servicemen
and women who have completed SSTs (Subject Standardized Tests), CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
examinations and GED tests. DANTES has also maintained USAFI (United States Armed Forces Institute) transcripts since
that organization ceased to exist in 1974.
College credit is awarded for acceptable SST scores as recommended by DANTES. Equivalency for SST credit is determined
by our departments. Other credits recommended by DANTES (CLEP, etc.) must meet university guidelines for the awarding
of credit for those examinations. DANTES/USAFI correspondence credit is combined with other extension or correspondence
coursework to a maximum of 24 semester units.
Additional credit is granted for military courses as recommended in A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in
the Armed Services. A maximum of 30 units is allowed for military credit.
College Level Examination Program
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is designed to be a means through which recognition, academic credit, and
placement may be given for less conventional forms of educational experience. Those who may have reached a college level
of education through home or correspondence study, on-the-job training, television courses, or by other means may take the
CLEP examinations, which are offered by the College Entrance Examination Board. They are now offered only as computer-based
tests and are available through Testing Services on campus.
Within the restrictions of systemwide policy, this university awards up to 6 units of credit for successfully completed CLEP
examinations. Such credit is applied to the total units required for the baccalaureate degree, but it is not applied to the General
Education requirement. Not all CLEP examinations are acceptable under system policy. It is the responsibility of the student
to check with the appropriate department to determine whether it accepts CLEP credit. This should be done prior to taking the
CLEP exam.
Credits earned through CLEP are included among the maximum of 30 units of Credit by Examination that may be credited
toward a bachelor's degree. For additional information, call Testing Services, 559.278.2457.
Upper-Division Writing Examination.
The UDWE is administered by the university and may be used to satisfy the upper-division writing skills requirement. One
unit of credit may be granted (ENGL 100W) to registered undergraduate students upon request. This unit may be applied
toward the 40 upper-division unit degree requirement and total units for the baccalaureate degree but cannot be applied
toward the 30 residence unit degree requirement or for postbaccalaureate credit. For details, call the Bulldog Testing Center,
559.278.4137.
Intrasystem and Intersystem Enrollment Programs
Fully matriculated students enrolled at any CSU campus have access to courses at other CSU campuses on a space available
basis unless those campuses/programs are impacted. This access is offered without students being required to be formally
admitted to the host campus and in most cases without paying additional fees. Students should consult their home campus
