Withdrawal and Repeat Information

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES, EFFECTIVE FALL 2009 AND PURSUANT TO EXECUTIVE ORDER 1037

WITHDRAWAL INFORMATION

Students can only withdraw from 18 units during the course of their studies at Cal State Monterey Bay.  For most students, that means that they can only withdraw from four to six classes in their undergraduate career.  Students taking high-unit courses will have even fewer opportunities to withdraw. 

Schedule Adjustments made during the Add/Drop Period do not count toward the limit, but changes made after the Add/Drop Period will count toward the limit.  Approved course withdrawal for medical or military reasons will also not count towards the 18 unit limit.

COURSE REPEAT INFORMATION

Undergraduate students are limited to repeating 16 semester units during their career at Cal State Monterey Bay.  Students wishing to repeat a course more than once must submit a Course Repeat Petition.

Undergraduate students may attempt to improve their GPA by repeating a course which they have earned a grade of C-, D+, D, D-, F, WU or IC, however students will be prevented from registering for a course in which a grade of "C" or higher has been assigned.

INCOMPLETE GRADE INFORMATION

Students may not re-enroll in a class in which a grade of "I" (Incomplete) is currently assigned. 

The grade "I" will automatically be converted to "IC" when a grade is not specified on the Contract for Incomplete Grade; the instructor does not submit a Change of Grade for the class in question before the 1-year time limit is reached; and there is no approved extension of the time frame for the Incomplete grade.
