Add/Drop

Deadlines

Students may add and drop classes using Telephone and Web systems without an instructors signature by the regular add/drop deadlline (see below). Last day to return a book to the Kennel Bookstore is the same as the last day of add/drop.

Administrative add/drop using a Permission Number are accepted after the add/drop deadline. You may pick-up and return an add/drop card to the Admissions/Records Service Windows. Obtain signatures of instructor and dean of the school.

Following this, students may drop a course for serious and compelling reasons only using an add/drop card. All courses dropped after regular add/drop period will be listed on the official University transcript with a "W" (Withdrawal). Students must complete or withdraw from every class registered. A "W" does not negatively impact your GPA. Failure to complete or withdraw will result in a grade of "WU" or "F" on your transcripts.

All courses dropped after the end of the administrative add/drop period will be listed on the official university transcript with a "W" (Withdrawal).

Complete Withdrawal

Withdrawing means dropping all classes for a semester. Pick up a withdrawal form from the Admissions/Records Service windows and follow the instructions to completely withdrawal from the university. If this occurs after the administrative add/drop period, then the university will only grant withdrawal for a serious and compelling reason. If you are off campus, write the Admissions/Records Office requesting a complete withdrawal. For refund of registration fees.

If you do completely withdraw you will still be eligible to enroll in the following semester. If you remain away from California State University, Fresno more than one calendar year, then contact the Office of Advising Services or the Evaluations Office.

Changing Your Grading Options

Use the Web system to change your grading options, or secure add/drop card. A faculty signature is not required. You are limited to a maximum of 6 units per semester of credit/no credit grades.

During the first week of school, it is the responsibility of the student to attend each class meeting. If a class is full, a faculty member may administratively drop any student who is absent from any class session during the first week of classes (if the student has not personally contacted the faculty member by the next class meeting). It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw properly from any class which he/she does not intend to complete. Do not assume that the faculty member will administratively drop you.
