Repetition of Course Policy (ROCP)

• A student can repeat courses for which a C-, D,
  D, D-, F, WU, or IC grade was earned.
• A student can repeat and replace a total of 16
  units during his/her undergraduate career.
• This includes courses repeated at community
  college or another university
• Any course failed at CSUF must be repeated at
  CSUF in order to apply ROCP and delete original
  grade from the CSUF GPA calculation.
• What happens when students repeat courses beyond
  the 16-unit ROCP limit?
• The grades for courses repeated beyond 16 units
  will not replace previous low grades both the
  original and most recent grades are included in
  the GPA calculation.

Retroactive Withdrawal Petition

• A Withdrawal Unauthorized (WU) is assigned when a
  student fails to complete enough course work to
  be given a letter grade.
• A WU is calculated as an F in the GPA.
• WUs earned during the first term of enrollment
  at CSUF will be changed to Ws without filling a
  petition.
• Retroactive withdrawal petitions require
  extenuating circumstances and documented proof.
