Repeating Coursework

Undergraduate Policy on Repeating Courses
(Approved May 21, 2009)
The University recognizes that undergraduate students
may need to repeat one or more courses in order to fulfill
degree requirements and/or enhance previously acquired
skills. However, students should seek academic
advisement before deciding to repeat any course.
Students should be aware that other institutions (e.g.,
medical schools, graduate programs, law schools) might
not recognize this repeat policy and may use “forgiven”
grades in recalculating grade point averages.
Athletic Training Major Advisement cont.
Repeating Coursework
1. A maximum of 16 semester units of CSU Northridge
coursework in which a student earned less than a C
grade may be repeated for the purpose of excluding
grades (grade forgiveness) from the computation of the
student’s overall GPA. Only the first 16 semester units
are eligible for grade forgiveness.
2. An additional 12 semester units of coursework may be
repeated for grade averaging, i.e., both the original grade
and the repeat shall be calculated into the student’s total
GPA.
3. Students cannot improve grades of courses taken at
CSUN by repeating them at another institution. Students
cannot improve grades of courses taken at another
institution by repeating them at CSUN.

Repeating Coursework
4. The stated limits (16 units for grade forgiveness and 12
units for grade averaging) apply only to units completed
at CSU Northridge. The limits apply to all courses taken
at CSUN, whether a student is matriculated or enrolled
through self-support such as Extended Learning.
5. Registration in repeated courses is limited to the
Nonrestrictive and Late Registration periods and is
prohibited during the Registration by Appointment
period.* (see note below)
Athletic Training Major Advisement cont.
Repeating Coursework
6. Undergraduate students may take an individual course no
more than three times. Only one repeat per course is
permitted for improving the grade, with the higher of the
two grades counted in the student’s GPA. If a student
enrolls in a course for a third time, the units attempted
and any grade points earned will be averaged with all
other grades earned for the course (except ones that
were awarded grade forgiveness). On the third enrollment
in a course, permission of the associate dean of the
college of the student’s major (or the Director of
Undergraduate Studies if the student is Undecided) is
necessary.

Repeating Coursework
7. Subsequent enrollment must be on the same
basis of grading as the first.
8. Grade forgiveness is not applicable in courses
for which the original grade was the result of a
finding of academic dishonesty.
9. This policy does not pertain to repeats in
courses such as Music Ensembles and
Independent Study where the curriculum
allows, permits or requires repeats.
10. This policy applies only to baccalaureate
units, i.e., those that count toward the degree.
Athletic Training Major Advisement cont.
Repeating Coursework
*Beginning Fall 09, no student may enroll in
any course for the purpose of repeating
until the first day of classes. Such repeating
students will need to get permission of the
instructor to enroll. SOLAR will block a
student’s ability to repeat enrollment in a
course until the first day of classes.

Upper Division Writing
Proficiency Exam



Students who have completed 56 units and have met the lower
division writing requirement shall be required to take an essay
examination.
Undergraduate students are encouraged to take the
Writing Proficiency Examination (WPE) as early as
possible after (a) above has been met, but must take the
WPE no later than the semester in which 90 units are
completed. Students who have not taken the WPE by the
completion of 90 units may delay their graduation. (see
catalog for details)
Students who fail shall be permitted to repeat the examination.
Subsequent attempts, however, shall be permitted only after
the students have taken steps (for example, completing an
appropriate writing course) to correct their writing deficiencies.
