Guidelines for Grade Forgiveness

Undergraduate students may only repeat a course in which they earned a grade lower than a "C". Twenty-four (24) quarter units may be repeated for grade forgiveness and an additional 18 quarter units may be repeated with both grades averaged into the grade point average (GPA). No repeats will be allowed beyond these limits.

Petitions for Grade Forgiveness should be filed after the completion of the course used to replace the previous course.

Undergraduate students may repeat an individual course for grade forgiveness no more than two (2) times. The grade earned in the subsequent attempt will be the grade used in calculating the cumulative units earned as well as for the GPA.

A course may not be repeated for the purpose of removing an incomplete grade. Only those incompletes that have changed to a letter grade of "C-" or less or an IC (Incomplete Charged) may be repeated for grade forgiveness.

Students on dismissal may repeat courses, in which grades lowver than a "C" were earned, through the CSUSB Extended Learning Open University Program and petition to have the grade earned treated as though it were taken in residence.

For courses repeated at an institution other than CSUSB, the overall GPA will be averaged upon receipt of transcripts from that institution. Repeating a course at another institution will not have an effect on a student's CSUSB GPA, but will affect the cumulative GPA.

For transfer units, CSUSB will honor the repeat/grade forgiveness policy in effect at the institution issuing the trancript.

Courses taken for undergraduate credit may not be repeated for grade forgiveness as a Post-Baccalaureate student.

Credit by Examination (CBE) may not be used for grade forgiveness of a course taken previously.

Grade forgiveness shall not be applicable to courses for which the original grade was the result of a finding of academic dishonesty.

Regulations for repeating are different for Post-Baccalaureate and Graduate students. Check the campus catalog for guidlines.
