Academic Regulations
2001-2002 California State University, Fresno General Catalog 77
repeat a course in which an I grade was
received unless he or she wishes to
receive credit and the time for making up
the grade has passed.
A short-term extension of time may be
granted with justification by contacting
the Office of the Registrar prior to the
last day of the second semester/session.
Satisfactory Progress (SP). The SP
symbol is used in connection with
courses that extend beyond one academic
term. It indicates that work in progress
has been evaluated as satisfactory to date
but that assignment of a final grade must
await completion of additional work.
The SP may be used only in courses
designated on the approved SP grade
course list published by the Office of the
Provost and Vice President for Academic
Affairs. Cumulative enrollment in units
attempted may not exceed the total
number applicable to the student’s
educational objective.
While completing work on an SP or an
I, graduate students not enrolled in
regular session coursework for a letter
grade are required to maintain continu-ous
enrollment at California State
University, Fresno. This may be accom-plished
through enrollment in “0” unit
GS Continuation. Exception: Graduate
students enrolled in Project 298 or
Thesis 299 receive an SP at the end of
the first semester of enrollment and are
advised to complete work on the
culminating experience during four
additional semesters, subject to the five-year
overall time limit for completion of
all master’s degree requirements. In
addition, if an SP in 298/299 is not
replaced by a final grade within two years
as recommended, the student’s major
department may require him or her to
reregister for the course. (See Graduate
Studies.)
Unauthorized Withdrawal (U). The
symbol U indicates that an enrolled
student did not complete course require-ments
and did not properly withdraw
from the course. It is used when, in the
opinion of the instructor, completed
assignments or course activities, or both
were insufficient to make normal
evaluation of academic performance
possible. For purposes of grade point
average computation this symbol is
equivalent to an F. The U will not revert
to any other grade.
3. Graduate Students. Credit for course-work
earned through CR/NC in fall 1978
and in subsequent semesters may not be
applied toward the master’s degree un-less
the course has been designated as
available for CR/NC only by the Gradu-ate
Committee. A maximum of 6 units
of CR/NC only credit may be applied to
a 30-unit master’s degree program and a
maximum of 12 units of CR/NC only
credit may be applied to a 60-unit pro-gram.
See the current Schedule of Courses for
further information.
Incomplete (I). The symbol I (Incom-plete
Authorized) indicates that a portion
of required coursework has not been
completed and evaluated in the pre-scribed
time period due to unforeseen,
but fully justified, reasons and that there
is still a possibility of earning credit. In
order to be eligible for an I grade, the
student must have completed at least
two-thirds of the required coursework
with a passing grade. It is the responsibil-ity
of the student to bring pertinent
information to the attention of the
instructor before the end of the semester
and to determine from the instructor the
remaining course requirements that must
be satisfied to remove the incomplete. A
final grade is assigned when the work
agreed upon has been completed and
evaluated. Reregistration in the course is
not used to remove an I grade.
Normally it is expected that the student
will make up an I grade during the next
semester; however, it must be made up
within one calendar year immediately
following the last day of the semester/
session during which it was assigned.
This limitation prevails whether or not
the student maintains continuous
enrollment.
Failure to complete the assigned work
will result in the I being counted as a
failing grade for grade point average
computation. An I grade not made up
within one calendar year after the grade
has been recorded is changed to an F (or
an NC if CR/NC grading was approved).
Incomplete grades must be cleared before
a degree is awarded. In the absence of the
instructor who has assigned the incom-plete,
a student seeking to make up this
grade should consult the department
chair. A student may not be required to
Withdrawal (W). The W symbol
indicates that the student was permitted
to drop the course after the fourth week
of instruction for serious and compelling
reasons with the approval of the instruc-tor
and appropriate campus officials. It
carries no connotation of quality of
student performance and is not used in
calculating grade point average.
Grading Policies and Practices
Grading. Students are expected to
complete all requirements for a class by
the end of the semester unless an
incomplete is permitted by the instructor
in accordance with university policy.
Students shall not be assigned additional
work or be allowed to revise previous
assignments in order to improve a final
grade.
College Syllabus and Record Keeping.
All faculty members shall provide
students at the beginning of each
semester a syllabus or outline stating
course goals and objectives including
grading methodology, types and number
of projects, written assignments, tests,
experiments, etc.
Grade Substitution by Repetition of
Courses. An undergraduate student may
repeat an undergraduate course at
California State University, Fresno. If
the original grade was D, F, U, or I, and
the subsequent grade is the same or
higher, the student may request that the
new grade be substituted for the original
grade. If that substitution is requested
and made, only the substituted grade will
be used in determining the student’s
grade point average. If the student fails
to request the substitution, both grades
will be used in computing the student's
grade point average. Grade substitution
can be made only once for each course. If
the original grade was C, CR, or better,
the course cannot be repeated for grade
substitution.
A course in which a grade of NC was
earned may be repeated but since the NC
grade does not affect the grade point
average, no substitution is necessary.
To substitute a grade by repetition at
California State University, Fresno, the
student must file a Grade Substitution
Petition form with the Admissions/
Records Office Service Windows, Joyal
Administration Building, by the last day
