Academic Regulations
2012-2013 California State University, Fresno General Catalog 75
The faculty member should complete the
online incomplete contract detailing the
work that needs to be completed. A fi nal
grade is assigned when the work agreed
upon has been completed and evaluated.
Students may not enroll in a course for
which they have 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 fol-lowing
the last day of the semester/session
during which it was assigned. This limita-tion
prevails whether or not the student
maintains continuous enrollment.
Failure to complete the assigned work will
result in the I being counted as an IC, or
failing grade for grade point average com-putation.
An I grade not made up within
one calendar year after the grade has been
recorded is changed to an IC (or an NC if
CR/NC grading was approved).
Incomplete grades must be cleared before a
degree is awarded. In the absence of the in-structor
who has assigned the incomplete,
a student seeking to make up this grade
should consult the department chair.
A short-term extension of time may be
granted with justifi cation by contacting the
Offi ce of the Registrar prior to the last day
of the second semester/session.
Report in Progress (RP). The RP 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 fi nal grade must await
completion of additional work. The RP
may be used only in courses designated
on the approved RP grade course list
published by the Offi ce of the Provost
and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Cumulative enrollment in units attempted
may not exceed the total number appli-cable
to the student’s educational objective.
While completing work on an RP or
an I, graduate students are required to
be continuously enrolled at California
State University, Fresno, every semester
until the awarding of the degree. Gradu-ate
students enrolled in Project (298) or
Thesis (299) receive RP grades at the end
of the fi rst semester of enrollment and are
advised to complete work on the culmi-nating
experience during four additional
semesters, subject to the fi ve-year overall
time limit for completion of all master’s
degree requirements. In addition, if an RP
in 298 or 299 is not replaced by a fi nal
The NC grade is assigned if the student’s
work is not equivalent to these standards:
1. General conditions and limitations.
Some courses are not available for CR/NC
grading (see individual course descrip-tion),
while others are designated as
available for CR/NCgrading only. All other
courses are available for CR/NC grading;
however, a student may not enroll in more
than 6 units of CR/NC graded coursework
per semester. The decision to enroll for
CR/NC grading must be made prior to
the end of the fourth week of instruction
and the decision must be recorded by the
student by using the Web registration
system.
2. Undergraduate Students. A student may
not elect CR/NC graded coursework to
satisfy requirements for the major unless
the courses have been designated CR/NC
only. A maximum of 24 semester units
at California State University, Fresno of
CR/NC evaluated credit, including all
coursework taken CR/NC only, may be
applied toward the degree.
3. Graduate Students. Credit for course work
earned through CR/NC in fall 1978 and
in subsequent semesters may not be ap-plied
toward the master’s degree unless the
course has been designated as available for
CR/NConly by the Graduate 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 program.
See the current Class Schedule 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 justifi ed — reasons, and that
there is still a possibility of earning credit.
Such reasons must meet the criteria of
serious and compelling and occur late
in the semester. The grade of I is only ap-propriate
when the student requesting it
has completed a minimum of two-thirds
of the work for the course with a passing
grade. The instructor of record retains the
right to decide whether or not an I grade
is appropriate. It is the responsibility of
the student to bring pertinent informa-tion
to the attention of the instructor
and to determine from the instructor the
remaining course requirements that must
be satisfi ed to remove the incomplete.
grade within two years as recommended,
the student’s major department may
require him or her to reregister for the
course. (See Graduate Studies.)
Withdrawal Unauthorized (WU). The
symbol WU 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 insuffi cient to make normal evalu-ation
of academic performance possible.
For purposes of grade point average
computation this symbol is equivalent
to an F. The WU will not revert to any
other grade.
Withdrawal (W). The W symbol indi-cates
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 offi cials.
It carries no connotation of quality of
student performance and is not used in
calculating grade point average. Under-graduate
students may withdraw from no
more than 18 semester units.
Grading Policies and Practices

all requirements for a class by the
