POLICY STATEMENT
December 7, 1984
NUMBER: 80-09 AMENDED
FILE: Repetition of Courses; Repeat/Delete
Obsolete Policy
The following
policy was recommended by the Academic Senate in its meeting of
November 29, 1984 and received the concurrence of the President
on December 7, 1984.
SUBJECT: REPETITION OF COURSES
Repetition of Courses for a Satisfactory Grade (Repeat/Delete)
An undergraduate student who has received a grade of D, F, U, or
NC in a course taken at CSULB may petition once to repeat the course
and have the second grade substituted for the first in the computation
of units attempted and grade points earned, provided that the second
grade assigned is an A, B, C, or CR. A second or subsequent grade
of D, F, U, or NC will not be substituted for the first and will
be computed in units attempted and grade points earned, but the
extra units earned will not be counted toward graduation. A graduate
student who has been assigned a grade of D, F, U, or NC on a course
required for the degree must repeat the course for a satisfactory
grade, but the second or subsequent units may not be substituted
for the first and the additional units cannot be applied toward
the unit requirements of the degree. All grades received will remain
on record. The course must be repeated at this campus in regular
or summer session. A student who receives a CR or a C or better
in a course may not repeat the course for credit toward a degree,
except as provided for below under "Repeatable Courses."
The permission of the Chair of the department in which the course
is offered must be obtained and the request filed in the Office
of Admissions and Records during the first four weeks of instruction.
Departments, with the approval of the school Dean, may adopt a policy
that prohibits the substitution of grades provided for above if
such a policy includes provisions for exceptional cases.
Repeatable Courses
A student may repeat for additional units or credit toward a baccalaureate
or graduate degree any course specified as repeatable in the Bulletin
up to the limits specified. Each department determines the unit
limits and any other limitations for courses that may be repeated.
In general, except for activity courses, a student may not repeat
a course having the same content as the one for which credit was
initally received.
Effective: IMMEDIATELY
