Planned Educational Leave of Absence.
A planned educational leave of absence
is defined as a planned interruption or
pause in a student’s regular education
during which the student temporarily
ceases formal studies at California State
University, Fresno, while pursuing other
activities that may assist in clarifying the
student’s educational goals. The intent of
the policy is to make it possible for a stu-dent
to suspend his or her academic work
and later resume studies with a minimum
of procedural difficulty. A student who
is approved for a planned leave will be
considered a continuing California State
University, Fresno student.
A student with an undergraduate degree
objective may enroll for classes at the end
of an approved leave without reapplying
for admission and may continue at Cali-fornia
State University, Fresno without
changing graduation requirements.
A planned educational leave for graduate
students must be recommended by the
dean, Division of Graduate Studies. In-formation
is available, Division of Gradu-ate
Studies, Frank W. Thomas Building,
Room 132.
Planned educational leaves may be grant-ed
for a variety of reasons or projects, but
certain characteristics must be contained
in any request for a leave:
1. The student must have a definite objec-tive,
which in the judgment of the appro-priate
university official, contributes to his
or her educational goals and objectives.
2. A student must have a verified serious
medical condition that warrants absence
from the university. Medical documenta-tion
must be submitted with request.
3. The request must be for a specific period
of time which shall not exceed four con-secutive
semesters.
at another institution. For these cases, a
Grade Substitution Petition form must be
filed with the Admissions, Records, and
Evaluations Office by the last day of the
semester.
For further information, contact the
Admissions, Records, and Evaluations
Office located in the North Lobby, Joyal
Administration Building.
Academic Renewal. Under certain cir-cumstances,
the university may disregard
up to two semesters (three quarters) of
previous undergraduate coursework taken
at California State University, Fresno or at
any other college from all considerations
associated with requirements for the
baccalaureate degree. When such action
is approved, the student’s permanent
academic record is marked to indicate
that no work taken during the disregarded
term(s), even if satisfactory, may ap-ply
toward baccalaureate requirements.
However, all work must remain legible on
the record ensuring a true and complete
academic history.
In order to qualify for renewal, all of the
following conditions must be met:
1. Five years must have elapsed since the
most recent work to be disregarded was
completed.
2. It must be evident that the poor level of
work represented by the term(s) under
consideration is not representative (see
No. 3) of the student’s usual academic
performance and was due to extenuating
circumstances.
3. The student must have completed the
following in residence at California State
University, Fresno since the most recent
work to be disregarded was completed:
a. 15 semester units with at least a 3.0
GPA or
b. 30 semester units with at least a 2.5
GPA or
c. 45 semester units with a 2.0 GPA
Work completed at another institution
cannot be used to satisfy this request.
4. It must be evident that it would be neces-sary
for the student to complete one or
more additional terms in order to qualify
for the baccalaureate degree if the request
were not approved, i.e., that the student
would have less than a 2.0 grade point
average in one or more of the follow-ing:
Grade Substitution by Repetition of
Courses. An undergraduate student may
repeat up to 16 semester units of under-graduate
coursework at California State
University, Fresno. If the original grade
was D, F, WU, or IC, and the subsequent
grade is the same or higher, the new grade
will be substituted for the original grade.
Only the substituted grade will be used
in determining the student’s grade point
average. Grade substitution can be made
no more than two times for an individual
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.
A course attempted at another institution
may be repeated by enrolling in a regular
California State University, Fresno course
determined by the Evaluations Office to
be equivalent. A course for which grade
substitution has been granted at another
institution may not be repeated for grade
substitution at California State Univer-sity,
Fresno. In addition, a course taken at
California State University, Fresno may
not be repeated for grade substitution at
another institution.
Postbaccalaureate students pursuing (1) a
second baccalaureate degree, (2) a second
undergraduate major, (3) a teaching
credential, or (4) no specific objective, are
also free to repeat a course and request
grade substitution on the same basis as
undergraduates provided the original
course was completed when the student
had postbaccalaureate standing.
Postbaccalaureate students pursuing
a doctoral degree, master’s degree, or
certificate of advanced study may, with
approval of an adviser, repeat a course
for academic credit, regardless of what
grade was originally earned in the course.
However, the student is not eligible to
petition for grade substitution. All course
work taken, beginning with the first
term of the student’s doctoral or master’s
degree program is used in determining
the student’s grade point average and
graduation eligibility.
All appropriate grade substitutions will
automatically be posted to the student’s
records at the end of each semester except
in cases in which the first attempt was
