What if I am Academically Disqualified?

If you are academically disqualified, you may pursue readmission through Open University. The Disqualification Advisors in Open University can support you and answer all of your questions.

To review the process visit, the Academic Advisement Center's Academic Disqualification webpage.

You will need to attend a disqualification workshop and/or schedule an appointment with a Disqualification Advisor. Details will be emailed to your CSUF email address. 

The use of the Repetition of Courses Policy can help you improve your GPA more quickly than taking a new course. Students may repeat a total of 28 units (16 units of Grade Forgiveness and 12 units of Grade Averaging) for courses where a grade of "C-" (1.7) or below were earned. A single course may be repeated twice, for a total of 3 attempts maximum. Repeats beyond 3 attempts require a repeat exception petition.

Grade Forgiveness (16 unit limit)  provides an undergraduate student an opportunity to repeat up to 16 units of course work with 'Grade Forgiveness'. In computing the grade point average of a student who repeats courses in which he or she received C- (1.7), only the most recently earned grades and grade points shall be used in the GPA calculation for the first 16 units repeated. In exercising this option, an undergraduate student must take and repeat the course at CSUF. Immediately following successful completion of the course, grade forgiveness will be automatically applied and the student's grade point average can be revised.

Grade Averaging (12 unit limit) provides an undergraduate student an opportunity to repeat up to 12 units with grades averaged. Under this category both grades are calculated into your GPA
