Graduate (master's) students fulfill requirements based on an approved advancement to candidacy petition. These requirements
are based on departmental and university requirements as published in the current catalog at the time of advancement.
Continuous enrollment is likewise defined differently for master's students. (Search Graduate Studies.)
* A student may not begin “continuous attendance” while still enrolled in high school.
Student Absences. Students are expected to attend class and should maintain contact with their faculty members regarding
any absences. Individual faculty members should be contacted when there are extended absences (more than one week) due to
illness, death in the immediate family, or other situations. In urgent or extraordinary emergencies that preclude direct contact
with individual faculty, students may contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at
559.278.2541. Any make-up work or missed assignments remain the responsibility of the student.
Dispute Resolution. A student-related dispute could arise out of a decision or action in the course of official duty by a
member of the faculty, staff, or administration of California State University, Fresno. The decision or action could be alleged
as discriminatory, contrary to accepted academic relationships and procedures, or restrictive of the rights of any student of the
university to fair treatment. The purpose of the dispute resolution process is to provide a mechanism for students to have a
third party review the situation.
The student must first make a good faith effort to resolve the matter informally by talking directly with the individual
concerned, the individual's direct supervisor or department chair, and the director of the unit or college/school dean. If
resolution is not effected through the informal procedures, for assistance students should contact the Office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students.
Transcript Evaluation
Undergraduate transfer students are usually evaluated under the degree requirements listed in the General Catalog at the time
they enter California State University, Fresno.
Transfer students who accept their admission offer and register for a mandatory Dog Days session should receive an email
with instructions on how to access their computerized evaluation (DPR - Degree Progress Report). The DPR provides
detail regarding the acceptance and processing of transfer coursework and also indicates remaining degree requirements.
It is recommended that students access their DPR through self-service at least once a semester and review it with their
academic advisor. A degree evaluation is completed during the semester a student files for graduation. (See Graduation and
Commencement.)
All official transcripts submitted by the student either in support of an application for admission or for degree completion
become the property of California State University, Fresno and are not returned to the student. Students are strongly
encouraged to obtain duplicate copies of their records from high school and colleges previously attended for their personal file.
