Grade Substitution by
Repetition of Courses
Grade Substition Procedure
To substitute a grade by repetition, the student must file a Grade Substitution
petition form with the Admissions/Records Service Windows, Joyal Administration
Building by the last day of the semester/term during which the course
is repeated.
A course attempted at another institution may be repeated by enrolling
in a regular Fresno State 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 Fresno
State, and a course taken at Fresno State may not be repeated for grade
substitution at another institution.
If a student repeats a course in which the prior grade earned was a
"C/CR" or higher, the repetition will be recorded on the student’s
transcript, but the new grade will not be substituted for the original
grade. Further, the units and grade points will be included in the student’s
total until deleted by the Evaluations Office upon transcript review.
Undergraduate Students
Students may repeat an undergraduate course in which a grade of "D",
"F", "WU", or "I" was received. All units
attempted will be used to determine the student’s grade point average
and graduation eligibility unless the student repeats a course and a new
grade is substituted for the original grade. A grade substitution may
be made only once for each course and only a higher grade or the same
grade may be substituted for the original attempt.
Graduate Students
Postbaccalaureate students pursuing:
- a second baccalaureate degree,
- a second undergraduate major,
- a teaching credential, or
- who have no specific objective,
are eligible to repeat courses for grade substitution, assuming both
attempts occur after the student attains postbaccalaureate standing. This
policy does not apply to students enrolled in graduate degree curricula.
With the approval of an adviser, a postbaccalaureate student pursuing
a doctoral, master's degree, or an advanced certificate may 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.
