President John A. Brownell

Modification of Repeat and Cancel Policy

[Supersedes PM 86-05]

This PM will supercede PM 86-05 regarding the above policy and is in response to the Academic Senate’s resolution EPC 87-18 passed May 13, 1987.  The policy should now read as follows:

Repeat and cancel may be used by students working toward a baccalaureate degree.  It may not be used by graduate/post-baccalaureate students working on master’s degrees, graduate certificates, teaching credentials, or by “undeclared” graduate students, even when they might take undergraduate courses.

In the case of a repeated course, the subsequent grade is substituted for the earlier one in the computation of units attempted and GPA.  The previous course grade(s) remain(s) on the record, but is/are annotated as being discounted from grade-point-average calculation.

Repeat and cancel may only be used on courses taken at CSUDH and repeated at CSUDH or another CSU campus through summer session, concurrent enrollment or visitor status.
