ACADEMIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Academic dishonesty includes such actions like cheating, submitting false information or citations, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, and helping someone else commit an act of academic dishonesty.

The initial responsibility for detecting and responding to the academic dishonesty lies with the instructor concerned. An instructor who is convinced by the evidence that a student is responsible for violating the academic dishonesty policy shall:

  1. Make reasonable attempts to meet with the student regarding the allegations.
  2. Assign an appropriate academic penalty. This may range from an oral reprimand, a reduced score on the assignment, to an F in the course
  3. Submit a report to the Office of Student Conduct and the department chair for the alleged incident of academic dishonesty, including relevant documentations for action that is deemed appropriate.

The Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students shall maintain an academic dishonesty file of all cases of academic dishonesty with the appropriate documentation. Students shall be informed when their names are included in a report that is submitted. The Office of Student Conduct may initiate disciplinary proceedings under Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 41301, and Chancellor’s Executive Order 1098.

A student may appeal any action taken on a charge of academic dishonesty under the University Policy Statement 300.030, “Academic Appeals.” See “Academic Appeals” in the “Student Affairs” section of the university catalog.

ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY

The Academic Senate of California State University, Fullerton, endorses the 1987 Statement on Professional Ethics (UPS 230.000) and the 1940 Statement of Principles and Interpretive Comments of the American Association of University Professors contained in the 1984 Edition of Policy Documents and Reports.

ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS

If you are experiencing difficulty either academically or in your personal life, you should consult support groups on campus that may be able to assist you. Personal counseling is available from Counseling and Psychological Services. If you are unsure of a career, you should consult with the Career Center for special career counseling and interest testing. Other support services include: the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, Academic Advisement Center, Academic Appeals, Dean of Students Office, Disability Support Services, Financial Aid, International Education and Exchange, Student Wellness, University Learning Center, Adult Re-entry/Veterans Resource Center, Writing Center, and Registration and Records.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND YOUR STUDENT INFORMATION

There have been significant changes to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regarding students’ rights with respect to their educational records. See FERPA for more information.

AUDITING

The symbol AU identifies those instances where a student enrolled in a course for purposes not requiring credit. An auditor must have the permission of the instructor, and may enroll only after students otherwise eligible to enroll in the course for credit have done so. Auditors pay the same fees as credit students; regular class attendance is expected. Once enrolled as an auditor, a student may not change to credit after the last day to add classes. A student enrolled for credit may not change to audit after the deadline published on the Important Dates and Deadlines.pdf. An auditor does not take examinations in the course; therefore, there is no basis for evaluation nor a formal grade report.

USE OF BICYCLES AND SKATEBOARDS ON CAMPUS

The University’s policy concerning the use of bicycles, skateboards and other forms of non-motor vehicle transportation is set forth in President’s Directive No.16. Please see directive16.fullerton.edu.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

While class attendance is not recorded officially by the university, regular attendance in class is often essential to success in a course. Policy on class attendance is within the discretion of the individual faculty member, who shall announce the policy at the first class meeting of the session.

It is especially important that students attend the first meeting of a class. Students absent from the first meeting without notification to the instructor or departmental office within 24 hours after class may be denied admission to the class. Instructors may deny admission to absentees to admit persons on waiting lists in their places. A student who registers for a class and whose name appears on the first-day-of-class list should attend all class meetings. For students enrolled in online, hybrid or televised courses, meetings are defined as logging on to the course on the Learning Management System (e.g. Titanium). If a student decides not to continue enrollment in a class, either before or after instruction begins, it is the student’s responsibility to follow the appropriate procedures for dropping the class; however, if a student is absent without notifying the instructor or departmental office within 24 hours after any meeting missed during the first week, the student may be dropped administratively from the class by the instructor. Students should not assume that this will be done for them and should take the responsibility to ensure that they have been dropped by following the appropriate procedures for dropping classes. An instructor may also administratively drop a student who does not meet prerequisites for the course. These administrative withdrawals shall be without penalty.

CLASS SCHEDULE

The Winter Session 2023 class schedule is available online in your Titan Online Student Center or at fullerton.edu/schedule.  

An explanation of the codes used in the online class listing  can be found at Schedule of Classes and Explanations of Codes

CLOSED CLASSES

A departmental permit is required to add a closed class.

COURSE SYLLABI

Course Syllabi, which shall be compatible with approved course proposals on file in the Office of the Associate Vice President, Academic Programs, and with course descriptions in the university catalog, must be provided to students in writing within the first five days of instruction. Course Syllabi shall give detailed information on the following matters:

  1. Course material to be covered (e.g., reading list);
  2. The grading policy for the course;
  3. Class assignments (e.g., term papers-length, due date, projects);
  4. Examination dates and make-up policy, and the required or permissible materials or equipment which may be used in testing situations;
  5. Required or permissible materials and/or equipment, e.g., texts, materials, or equipment, including calculators, software, artistic materials, scientific apparatus, etc. 

It shall be a normal and reasonable duty of each faculty member to provide these materials, in accordance with the outlined provisions. The faculty member shall also provide these materials to the department chair.

DEGREE CANDIDATES

Candidates for the baccalaureate must file an application for a graduation check one year (two semesters) prior to the semester in which they anticipate completing all requirements for a degree. Undergraduate candidates for May 2023 must file by February 5, 2023. Complete information and instructions about the entire graduation check process for undergraduates are available on the university website under “Graduation.”

Candidates for May 2023 master’s and doctorate degrees must file a request for a graduation check on or before February 13, 2023. Complete information and instructions about the graduation check process for graduate students are available on the Office of Graduate Studies website, under Academics, Graduation Preparation.

A change in anticipated date of graduation may be reported by filing the necessary form with the Graduation Unit (LH-114) for undergraduate students, and submitting the form on the Graduate Studies website: fullerton.edu/graduate/academics/forms.php for graduate students.

FINAL EXAMINATIONS

During Winter Session, the final is held on the last day of class or as noted in the course syllabus.

GRADE OPTIONS

The University uses a combination of traditional and nontraditional grading options as follows:

  • Traditional Letter Grades: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F
  • Nontraditional
    • CR - C (2.0) grade or better in undergraduate courses; B (3.0) or better in graduate courses
    • NC - No credit

Students may indicate the grading basis for each course when they register. They have until the deadline published on the Important Dates and Deadlines.pdf of this registration guide to change an option. If grading for a course is listed as “Undergraduate Student Option”, the course can be taken either for a letter grade (A,B,C,D) or as credit/no credit.  If no option is chosen, the course will default to letter grade.  Certain faculty designated courses may solely be taken as graded or as credit/no credit.  To change the option from letter grade to Credit/No Credit or from Credit/No Credit to a letter grade, use the pull down menu under “Grading” at the time you enroll in the class. A letter grade (A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F) must be used by all undergraduate students for major, minor, and general education requirements. A letter grade (A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F) must be used by graduate students for all required courses. Exceptions are those courses designed by the faculty to be graded Letter Grade Only or CR/NC only.

Students should know that there is a limitation on the number of courses which can be taken with the nontraditional grading basis. A maximum of 36 units of credit/no credit courses, including those transferred from other institutions, may be counted toward the baccalaureate. Limited courses with a grade of CR may be used for the master’s or doctorate degree. A detailed description of the grading policy and definition of symbols used may be found in the current catalog.

ADVISORY CAUTION

Undergraduate students who plan to pursue graduate or professional studies later are advised to be selective in opting for courses on a credit/no credit basis. As a general rule (advisory only), coursework that is preparatory or prerequisite to advanced specialized study should be completed and evaluated on a letter grade basis and not credit/no credit.

INCOMPLETE AUTHORIZED (I)

The symbol “I” (Incomplete Authorized) signifies that a portion of the required coursework for a class has not been completed and evaluated in the prescribed time period, due to unforeseen but fully justified reasons, and that there is still a possibility of earning credit. It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the instructor and to determine from the instructor the remaining course requirements which must be satisfied to remove the Incomplete. A final grade is assigned when the work agreed upon has been completed and evaluated.

An Incomplete must be made up within one year following the end of the term during which it was assigned. This limitation prevails whether or not the student maintains continuous enrollment. Failure to complete the assigned work will result in an Incomplete being changed to an “IC” symbol or an “NC” unless the faculty member assigns a specific letter grade at the time the incomplete is assigned, which would replace the “I” in the student’s record at the end of the one year deadline. Therefore, “I” grades that were earned for the spring 2022 semester must be completed by May 26, 2023. “I” grades assigned at the end of the fall 2022 semester must be completed by January 4, 2024.

The “IC” symbol counts as a failing grade for grade point average and grade point balance computations.

A grade of incomplete may be given only when, in the opinion of the instructor, a student cannot complete a course during the semester of enrollment for reasons beyond the student’s control. Such reasons are assumed to include: illness of the student or of members of the student’s immediate family, extraordinary financial problems, loss of outside position, and other exigencies. In assigning a grade of ‘I’, the instructor shall file with the department, for future reference and student access, a Statement of Requirements for Completion of Course Work. The requirements shall not include retaking the course. The instructor will also designate a time limit (up to one year) for completing requirements. Upon request, a copy of the document will be furnished to the student. The student should review this statement at the earliest opportunity.

The statement of requirements will include an indication of the quality of the student’s work to date. This not only provides an interim evaluation for the student but assists the department chair in assigning a final grade in those instances where the instructor is no longer available. When specific requirements are completed, the instructor will report a change of grade. The responsibility for changing the incomplete grade rests with the instructor.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

If you want to register in an independent study course, you must obtain written approval from the instructor and the department chair using the appropriate university form. During the semester, you and the instructor shall prepare a study plan and submit it to the department chair, or designee, for approval. The approved study plan shall be kept on file in the department or program office, and shall include a statement of the basis for the final evaluation of the independent study.

You may not take more than 6 units of independent study at the undergraduate level in a given semester or apply more than 9 units of independent study toward completion of the undergraduate degree. If you are a graduate student, you may not apply more than 6 units of independent study toward completion of a graduate degree unless written approval is obtained by the appropriate college dean.

Lower division students normally enroll in Independent Study 299, upper division students in 499; and graduate students in 599, respectively. Independent study courses may be repeated.

INTERNSHIPS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Earn course credit while gaining practical experience related to your major by registering for an academic internship or service-learning course. Check your department for requirements and prerequisites. Be sure to start early (sometimes a semester ahead), especially if an academic internship is a graduation requirement for your major. Many placements are available at businesses, nonprofit organizations and government agencies at locations throughout southern California and opportunities may also be available out of state or overseas. 

Experiential learning opportunities are high impact practices that allow students to expand their knowledge, apply theories and skills learned in the classroom, prepare for successful entry into the job market, and develop as socially responsible citizens. Participating in high impact practices like internships and service-learning can keep students on track for graduation, and prepare them for meaningful careers. Additionally, academic internship and service-learning courses offer opportunities for students to: 

  • Build your résumé / portfolio
  • Gain work and service experiences
  • Network and develop industry contacts
  • Earn academic credit
  • Solidify academic and career goals
  • Possibly earn money while learning
  • Explore various career options within a major
  • Demonstrate personal and social responsibility
  •  Become engaged in your community and the issues that matter to you. 

To learn more about the opportunities available within your major, contact your department or visit the Center for Internships & Community Engagement in LH-206, open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Information is online at fullerton.edu/CICE.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE - UNDERGRADUATES AND POSTBACCALAUREATE UNCLASSIFIED GRADUATE STUDENTS

A leave of absence may be granted based on certain documented extenuating circumstances and normally is granted for not more than one year. Students must be in good academic standing and must have completed 12 units at this university. A leave of absence is not granted in order for a student to return to a community college to take coursework for financial or academic reasons. An approved leave of absence authorizes the student to return without reapplying to the university and continue under the catalog requirements prior to the absence. Undergraduate and postbaccalaureate unclassified graduate students on approved leaves of one year (two academic semesters) or less are eligible to register for the semester immediately following the end of the leave.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE - GRADUATE AND CREDENTIAL STUDENTS

Graduate degree or credential students may be granted leaves of absence, up to two consecutive semesters, which maintain their place in the university and in degree or credential programs (i.e., they do not have to reapply following the leave). A leave granted to a degree objective student also preserves the election of curriculum rights regarding catalog requirements. However, a leave granted by the university does not extend time limitations imposed by the state for completing specific credential requirements nor does it extend the time limit for completing the master’s or doctorate degree.

In the case of non-approved breaks in enrollment, reapplication for admission to the university and to the chosen degree or credential program will be required. A place in the degree/credential program or in the university will not be held for the student in these circumstances. Forms for requesting a leave of absence are available on the Graduate Studies website: fullerton.edu/graduate. Credential students must have completed at least one semester in residence at this university in order to qualify for a leave of absence. All graduate and credential leave  requests must be submitted before the first day of classes.

NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY 

The California State University (CSU or University) is committed to maintaining an inclusive and equitable community that values diversity and fosters mutual respect.  We embrace our community differences in Age, Disability (physical and mental), Gender (or sex), Gender Identity (including nonbinary and transgender), Gender Expression, Genetic Information, Marital Status, Medical Condition, Nationality, Race or Ethnicity (including color, caste, or ancestry), Religion (or religious creed), Sexual Orientation, Veteran or Military Status. All Students and Employees have the right to participate fully in CSU programs, activities, and employment free from Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking and Retaliation.  The Interim CSU Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation is established in compliance with Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance (34 C.F.R. 106.); The California Equity in Higher Education Act; The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (which amends the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and Campus Crimes Statistics Act, commonly known as the Clery Act) (VAWA) under its Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act provision (Campus SaVE Act); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; The Age Discrimination Act of 1975; and other applicable state and federal laws which prohibit Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation.

It is the policy of the CSU that no student or applicant for admission as a student shall, on the basis of a protected status, be unlawfully excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of any CSU program or activity.  Nor shall a student or applicant for admission as a student be otherwise subjected to unlawful discrimination, harassment or retaliation for exercising any rights under this executive order.

Discrimination is prohibited by Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Sections 508 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Act, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, including all subsequent amendments and administrative regulations adopted thereunder by the Department of Education and Department of Labor.

Employees and students who violate the Interim CSU Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation (or any superseding) may be subject to discipline. If employee discipline is appropriate it shall be administered in a manner consistent with applicable collective bargaining agreements, CSU policies and legal requirements. Discipline of a student shall be administered in accordance with Section 41301 of Title 5, California Code of Regulations and CSU Executive Order 1098, or any superseding executive order, if applicable.

OPEN UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT

Open University Enrollment provides an opportunity for people not currently admitted to Cal State Fullerton to enroll in undergraduate and graduate-level courses.  Registration is on a space-available basis and students must meet stated prerequisite requirements. Information is available from Extension and International Programs (EIP) at extension.fullerton.edu/ou/winter.aspx. Students enrolling through Open University are encouraged to contact Open University Advisors Suzanne Batista, sbatista@fullerton.edu (GH-123B, 657-278-4280), Margaret Luzzi, mluzzi@fullerton.edu (THALL-1123, 657-278-7644), or Michelle Hernandez, mihernandez@fullerton.edu (THALL-1123, 657-278-5664) with any questions prior to registering.

A maximum of 24 units earned through Open University may count towards a bachelor’s degree at CSUF. Credit earned through Open University may not be used to fulfill the residence requirements (30 semester units) for a bachelor’s degree at CSUF. For graduate degrees, normally 9 units may apply. Please consult the graduate department adviser. Disqualified (DQ) undergraduate students may not enroll in more than 3 units during a Winter Session term. Participation in Open University enrollment does not constitute admission to the university.

REPEAT POLICY

Grade Forgiveness (16-unit limit)
An undergraduate student may repeat up to 16 units of course work with ‘Grade Forgiveness’. This category of repeat is used for grades of C- (1.7) or lower. In computing the grade point average of a student who repeats courses in which he or she received C- (1.7) or lower, 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 this campus. Repeat policy will be automatically applied to courses repeated each semester during final grade processing at the end of the term.

Grades Averaged (12-unit limit)
An undergraduate may repeat up to 12 units of course work with ‘Grades Averaged’, beginning Fall 2009 forward. Under this category of repeat, both grades are calculated into the student’s GPA.

Maximum Repeat Limit (28 units)
The 16 units of ‘Grade Forgiveness’ and the 12 units of ‘Grades Averaged’ comprise the maximum repeat limit of 28 units for an undergraduate student.

Regulation Against Repeat of Courses with ‘C’ Grade or Better

SEXUAL HARASSMENT/SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICY

It is the policy of California State University, Fullerton to maintain a working and learning environment free from sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct and sexual exploitation of its students, employees, and those who apply for student or employee status. Sexual harassment is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and California Education Code Section 89535. The Interim CSU Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Exploitation, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation prohibits sexual harassment within the CSU system. The University will take action to eliminate sexual harassment and similar behavior. Information concerning campus sexual harassment policies and procedures, can be obtained from Sarah Bauer, Title IX Coordinator, College Park, Suite 205, (657) 278-2121 or visit fullerton.edu/titleix. fullerton.edu/titleix.

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND STUDENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Applicants are required to include their correct social security numbers in designated places on applications for admission pursuant to the authority contained in Section 41201, Title 5, California Code of Regulations, and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 6109). The University uses the social security number to identify students and their records including identification for purposes of financial aid eligibility and disbursement and the repayment of financial aid and other debts payable to the institution. Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the University to file information returns that include the student’s social security number and other information such as the amount paid for qualified tuition, related expenses, and interest on educational loans. This information is used by the IRS to help determine whether a student, or a person claiming a student as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes. The Social Security number also is required by the Franchise Tax Board for collection of past due accounts.

For other records and services, the university uses an assigned campus wide  identification number (CWID) as the student’s account number. A student’s TitanCard number is not his or her identification number.

Students are required to write their student identification numbers (CWID) on personal checks submitted for any payment to the University. Payment by personal check is consent by the student for the University to write the student’s identification number on the check if it is not referenced. If a student prefers that his or her student identification number not be on the check, then the student must submit payment by cashier’s check, money order, or, when appropriate (other than mail-in or drop-off registration) and cash. Use of the student identification number assures credit to the correct student university account.

STOP-OUT POLICY

The stop-out policy allows undergraduate students and post-baccalaureate unclassified non-credential students to be absent for one semester and maintain their continuing student status. This includes election of catalog requirements for graduation and eligibility to register for the next semester. Disqualified students, foreign visa students, students on leaves approved for more than one year and students without approved leaves who are absent for more than one semester must apply for readmission should they wish to return to Cal State Fullerton.

The State of California prohibits smoking in all public buildings and other enclosed areas of employment. Authority to issue this Policy is based on Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 42356; and California Government Code Section 7597.

III. SCOPE

This policy applies to all university faculty, staff, students, and visitors and to all interior and exterior campus areas and locations identified in Section I.

Smoking in university-sponsored theater and dance productions, student-authored or sponsored scenes, showcases or workshops produced as part of the department of theatre and dance season may be authorized by the President of designee only when a required part of a specific performance.  Smoking in Associated Students-sponsored performances may be authorized only when listed in a script as a required part of a performance and only when approved by the President or designee.

IV. DEFINITIONS

WITHDRAWAL LIMIT

Undergraduate students are limited to a maximum of 18 units of withdrawal (“W” on transcript) during their CSUF career, from Fall 2009 forward. “W’s” earned prior to Fall 2009 will remain on the record but will not be counted toward the 18-unit limit. See records.fullerton.edu/resources/. Click on “Dropping or Withdrawing from a Course”

WITHDRAWAL UNAUTHORIZED (WU)

University policy states that the symbol WU shall be assigned to a student who is enrolled in a class as of the census date*, but stops attending or participating, does not complete the course work and does not officially withdraw from the class. Students who discontinue course attendance without submitting an official approved withdrawal form online may result in a “WU” (Withdrawal Unauthorized) being assigned by the course professor.  Please see the Registration Guide each term for the applicable census date.

*For winter session(s), the day after the drop deadline replaces the census date for purposes of application of this policy.  

When a WU is assigned, the grading basis selected by the student at the time of registration for the course determines what displays on the  student transcript:

  • If the student registered for the class with a grading basis of ‘letter grade’, the symbol on the CSUF transcript appears as WU, and is equivalent to an F in GPA calculations.
  • If the student registered for the class with a grading basis of ‘credit/ no credit’, an assigned ‘WU’ would be recorded as NC* which does not impact GPA calculations.
  • NOTE: The grading basis available for a class depends on how the course is being offered. Some courses are offered as ‘letter grade only’, some as ‘credit/no credit only’ and some courses offer students a choice of either ‘letter grade’ or ‘credit/no credit’ as the grading basis.

In the first semester at CSUF that a WU is assigned to a student, any and all WU’s that are posted to the student record during the final grading period for that semester are automatically converted to a W during the grading cycle at the end of that term. The student is notified that this is a “one time only” provision. This auto-conversion will not occur in future semesters. 

For future occurrences, students may petition for retroactive withdrawal from courses that have been assigned a WU or NC* by using the retroactive withdrawal petition process when serious and compelling circumstances occurred during the semester being petitioned. A serious and compelling reason is defined as a physical, medical, emotional or other condition which has the effect of limiting the student’s full participation in the class and which is clearly beyond the student’s control.

President’s Directive No. 17
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. They are:

I. Directive 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) and California State University Executive Order 796 (“EO 796”) afford students the right to inspect and review their education records; request amendment of an education record believed to be in error or misleading; limit disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in an education record; and file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with FERPA. Should a conflict arise between FERPA or EO 796 and this directive, FERPA or EO 796 will take precedent.

II. Authority

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 120 U.S.C. 1232g, 
34 CFR 99, and CSU Executive Order 796. 

III. Scope 

This directive applies to the records of any student who is attending or has attended the University. They do not apply to records of applicants for admission who are denied acceptance or, if accepted, do not attend the University.

IV. Definitions

Directory Information.  A student’s name, date and place of birth, permanent and local address, University-recognized e-mail address, telephone number, class level, enrollment status, major(s), minor(s), dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, previous educational institutions attended, and past and present participation in recognized activities. Directory information also includes weight and height if student is an athletic team member.
  2. Legitimate Educational Interest.  A school official has a “legitimate educational interest” if the official must review an education record to fulfill their professional responsibility.  The University faculty or staff member responsible for maintaining the requested record is responsible for determining whether a school official has a legitimate educational interest.
  3. School Official.  A University or CSU system employee or volunteer in an administrative, academic, research or staff position, including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff; an individual or entity with whom the University has contracted to act for the institution or to provide services the institution would otherwise perform for itself, such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent; an individual, including a student, serving on a CSU System or University committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing their professional responsibility.

V. Implementation

  1. School officials with a legitimate educational interest may access student records. In addition to school officials with a legitimate educational interest, the University may disclose Directory information (defined in Section IV. A). depending on the nature of the request and depending on the release category selected by a student.  Students may choose to limit the release of their Directory information as described below:
    1. Permit release of all Directory information.  Unless restricted by a student, the University may release a student’s Directory information at any time to any requesting party, including the military and for the development of University-affiliated marketing programs. This is the default category for release of information.
    2. Permit release only “Verification” information.  This sub-category of Directory information consists of a student’s name, class level, enrollment status, major(s), minor(s), degrees and awards received, dates of attendance and University-recognized e-mail address. The University may release this information in response to requests, including but not limited to those from campus auxiliaries, financial lenders, employers, the military or insurance companies for verification of degree and enrollment information; for inclusion in Commencement and honors materials. Students who release only “Verification” information will be excluded from all University directories, printed or electronic, that the University may produce or publish.
    3. Withhold release of all Directory information.  Withholding the release of all Directory information means that the student will be excluded from all University directories and publications that the University may produce or publish, including Commencement and honors materials, and the University will not verify degree, dates of attendance or enrollment information without the prior written consent of the student. There will be no release to the military or for marketing programs.
  2. Students wishing to review their education records must make a written request to the Vice President for Student Affairs.  Requested education records as defined by FERPA will be made available for review within 45 working days of the request. Reasonable charges for copy costs will be applied.
  3. The University notifies students of their FERPA rights in its course catalog, university website, and annually via electronic mail.
  4. Students who believe their rights have been abridged may make a request in writing seeking assistance from the Vice President for Student Affairs, Langsdorf Hall 805, or The Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605.

VI. Accountability

  1. The University will review bi-annually its information practices concerning student records to assess its compliance with FERPA, CSU Executive Order 796 and this directive. The Vice President for Student Affairs is responsible for ensuring the completion of these reviews.
  2. Any school official requiring access to student records must meet all training requirements established. This training must be completed prior to access being granted.
  3. Individuals who violate this directive are subject to appropriate disciplinary action pursuant to the applicable collective bargaining agreement and/or administrative policies or procedures.
  4. The contact for questions concerning this Directive is the Vice President for Student Affairs or his/her designee.

Prospective students who register for courses offered by the university are obligated for the payment of fees associated with registration for those courses. Failure to cancel registration in any course for an academic term prior to the first day of the academic term gives rise to an obligation to pay student fees including any tuition for the reservation of space in the course.

The institution may withhold permission to register or other services offered by the institution from anyone owing fees or another debt to the institution. The institution may also report the debt to a credit bureau, offset the amount due against any future state tax refunds due the student, refer the debt to an outside collection agency and/or charge reasonable attorney fees if litigation is necessary.

If a person believes he or she does not owe all or part of an asserted unpaid obligation that person may contact Student Business Services. Student Business Services, or another office on campus to which Student Business Services may refer the person, will review all pertinent information provided by the person and available to the campus, and will advise the person of its conclusions.

REFUND OF FEES

MISCELLANEOUS FEE INFORMATION

CAMPUS WIDE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (CWID) ON CHECKS

All personal checks submitted for any payment to the University by students must include their Campus Wide Identification number. (The TitanCard number is not the student identification number.) Payment by personal check is considered the individual’s approval for the University to write the CWID on the check if it is not already present. If you prefer that your CWID not be written on the check, then payment must be made by cashier’s check, money order, or cash (refer to “Registration Fee Payment Information” for more information). Your CWID is used to assure credit to the proper account. Applicants are required to include their correct social security numbers (taxpayer identification numbers) in designated places on applications for admission pursuant to the authority contained in Section 41201, Title 5, California Code of Regulations, and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code. The University uses the social security number to identify students and their records including identifying the student for purposes of financial aid eligibility and disbursement and the repayment of financial aid and other debts payable to the institution. Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the university to file information returns that include the student’s social security number and other information such as the amount paid for qualified tuition and related expenses. This information is used by the IRS to help determine whether a student, or a person claiming a student as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes.

DISHONORED CHECKS

A $25 fee will be charged for all checks or credit card payments returned by your bank, for any reason. The dishonored check or credit card payment plus the $25 fee must be paid with cash, cashier’s check or money order.

REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

REGISTRATION FOR CSUF STUDENTS

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT REGISTRATION

  • Titan Online is available 24/7. You may register beginning with your assigned appointment and continue accessing registration an unlimited number of times until the end of TITAN registration.
  • You will not receive your registration appointment date/time via U.S. mail.  To view your registration appointment, sign onto Titan Online and access your Student Center.

  • For fee refund information, please go to sbs.fullerton.edu.

Waitlisting is available to all colleges. If a course is full, you may try to obtain a place in the class by getting on the waitlist. As space in the class becomes available, your name will advance on the waitlist. If enough students drop the course, you may be automatically enrolled from the waitlist. Please review How Waitlisting Works and Waitlist Restrictions.

PAYMENT DEADLINES FOR CSUF STUDENTS

PAYMENT INFORMATION

Be prepared to pay your course fees on the day of registration. Payment must be made on the day of registration. Please refer to  "Registration Fee payment information" for more information.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Students are subject to disenrollment if payment is not received on the day of registration.

TITAN ONLINE REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

REQUIREMENTS

Check Titan Online for your registration appointment date/time and for any holds on your record. All holds must be cleared three business days prior to your TITAN registration appointment. You will access registration via your student portal.

TITAN PIN

A “one-time use” Personal Identification Number (PIN) is assigned to you, which is a 6-digit number. After accessing your Student Portal with the PIN, you will be asked to create a password. This password will be used for Student Portal access including registration throughout your enrollment at CSUF. If you need assistance with your username or password, select the “need help logging in?” link immediately below the “Log In” button on the CSUF Portal Login webpage.

TITAN APPOINTMENT

Appointment dates and times for registration are based on class level and on units earned for all participants. The date indicated on Titan Online represents the first date you can access Titan Online to enroll in classes. If you attempt to register before your assigned date and time, you will not be granted access.

HOLDS

Any holds will be listed on Titan Online Student Center. All holds must be cleared three business days prior to your TITAN registration appointment.

CANCELLED CLASSES

If a class for which you have registered is cancelled by the department, you will receive an email notification at your CSUF email address. You may attempt to add another class during TITAN registration on or after your appointment time.

GRADING OPTION CHANGES

If grading for a course is listed as “Undergraduate Student Option”, the course can be taken either for a letter grade (A,B,C,D) or as credit/ no credit. If no option is chosen, the course will default to letter grade. Certain faculty designated courses may solely be taken as graded or as credit/no credit. To change the option from letter grade to Credit/No Credit or from Credit/No Credit to a letter grade, use the pull down menu under “Grading” at the time you enroll in the class. . The deadline for grade option changes is published on Important Dates and Deadlines.pdf of the Registration Guide.

COURSE PREREQUISITES

Some courses have course prerequisites (see Class Notes in the online class schedule) which, if not met, will result in your being unable to register for the course or being dropped by the instructor.

COURSE COREQUISITES

Some courses have course corequisites (see Class Notes in the online class schedule). You must register for the corresponding corequisite during the same registration transaction. Failure to do so may result in you being disenrolled from the course.

TEST SCORE PREREQUISITES

Some courses have test score prerequisites which, if not met, will result in you being unable to register for the course. For more information, go to fullerton.edu/testing.

STATE REHABILITATION AND VETERAN’S ADMINISTRATION VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION

Contact the Disability Support Services Office (GH-101) if you need assistance with registration.

Waitlisting is available to all colleges. If a course is full, you may try to obtain a place in the class by getting on the waitlist. As space in the class becomes available, your name will advance on the waitlist. If enough students drop the course, you may be automatically enrolled from the waitlist.

How Waitlisting Works

  • Many classes will offer waitlisting with the exception of 495, 499, 595, 598 and 599 classes.
  • The standard waitlist limit for each class is 15 students; this is regardless of the class limit. Some classes may have different waitlist limits based on department discretion.
  • You can waitlist for a maximum of 4 units, provided that the course’s waitlist is not already full. Note: waitlisted units are not included toward your enrollment unit. Once you successfully get into the class, then the units will count towards your enrollment limit.
  • You must meet any requisites for the class before you can be placed on the waitlist, e.g., course pre-requisites, section co-requisites, major and class level restrictions.
  • Students cannot waitlist the same lecture section or the same lab section more than once.
  • If a seat becomes available, the student first on the waitlist will get the seat (subject to the restrictions below).
  • Students will be moved from the waitlist into the class if other students drop or are dropped due to non-payment of fees.
  • If students drop, seats will not be available to students who happen to log in if there is someone on the waitlist.
  • If you are moved from the waitlist into the class, you will receive an email notification.
  • You will not be billed for waitlisted classes but will be billed if moved from a waitlist into a class. It is important to check your class schedule and account summary regularly to avoid possible disenrollment due to non-payment of fees due to a newly  added class.
  • If you are moved from the waitlist into a class, it is your responsibility to drop the class (as with any other class) if you decide not to attend. Failure to do so will result in a ‘WU’ grade on your record, which will lower your grade point average.
  • There is no guarantee you will be moved off the waitlist and enrolled into the class. Once the process to move students from the waitlist has run for the final time and classes have begun, instructors are not required to add students who were waitlisted for the class.
  • The online waitlisting feature will cease to function on Wednesday, December 18, but the waitlist will be retained for informational purposes for the instructor.
  • Faculty may control access to “closed” classes starting with the first day of class according to academic department procedures.

Waitlist Restrictions

Students will be moved from the waitlist into the class if space becomes available, and in the order placed, unless any of the following restrictions apply:

  1. There is a time conflict with another registered class. Since potential time conflicts are not checked when you place yourself on a waitlist, you should ensure that waitlisted classes do not conflict with your enrolled schedule.
  2. You are already enrolled in another section of the same course. Do not use waitlisting to try to get into another section of a course in which you are already enrolled, as you will not be moved from the waitlist if space becomes available. You will need to choose whether to take a chance and place yourself on the waitlist of the full section in the hope that space becomes available or remain enrolled in the section you have already scheduled.

If you cannot be moved from the waitlist, for any of the reasons given above, you will be skipped and the next student considered. You will not be reconsidered until the next time space becomes available in the class. Check your schedule regularly in your Titan Online Student Center to monitor your position on a waitlist. If you decide you no longer wish to wait for space to become available, you should drop yourself from a waitlist.

For questions or clarification, please contact the Veterans Resource Center at (657) 278-2373 and/or visit their website: fullerton.edu/veterans.

Veteran Fee Deferment Option - Only veterans who are matriculated students at CSUF and who are receiving GI Bill benefits are eligible.  Please arrange for fee deferments with the Veterans Resource Center (GH-244) at least three (3) business days prior to your Titan registration appointment.
Disabled Students - Contact the Disability Support Services Office (GH-101) if you need assistance with registration. For additional information, call (657) 278-3112.

OPEN REGISTRATION AND CHANGE OF PROGRAM

Once registration begins for a particular class level, students in that level may continue to register or change their program until the published registration deadline on the Important Dates and Deadlines .pdf for the appropriate class session.

Note: Class levels (i.e., senior, junior, etc.) are determined by the total number of units earned as currently reflected on your CSUF transcript and units enrolled in at CSUF for fall 2021. This prioritization applies only to those students who are currently officially admitted to CSUF. Transfer work that has not been evaluated or posted to your CSUF transcript cannot be used to calculate class level for this purpose.

Before registering for classes, please read the following instructions carefully. 

MAXIMUM UNITS - University Limitation - A maximum of 4 units may be taken during the entire Winter session term 2023. 

A student, whose academic record justifies a study list of more than 4 units, must request approval. In general, only students with superior academic records are allowed to enroll for more than 4 units. In addition, the need to enroll for extra study must be established. Factors such as time spent in employment or commuting, the nature of the academic program, extracurricular activities and the student’s health should be considered in planning a study program.

A Request For Excess Units form is available online at records.fullerton.edu/resources.

LATE REGISTRATION

Late registration is defined as registration that occurs on or after the first day of the session.  Late registration requires an electronic permit from the department, payment of a late registration fee, and immediate payment of fees. Non-admitted students enrolling through Open University requires permission from the instructor and department via electronic process. To access the electronic form go to records.fullerton.edu/resources/ scroll down to Late Add (Petition to Late Addition of Classes) request. Complete and submit the Late Add (Petition to Late Addition of Classes) request.

More information about Open University can be found at: extension.fullerton.edu/ou.

CLOSED CLASSES

When classes meet the established enrollment limit, they are closed. You may waitlist a course if the option is available (see Waitlist.) Additional enrollments can be accepted into a closed class only with an electronic permit from the department. Non-admitted students enrolling through Open University require approvals from the instructor and department to register into a closed or waitlisted section.  Enrollment is processed based on space availability.

DROPPING CLASSES

If a student decides not to continue enrollment in a class, either before or after instruction begins, it is the student’s responsibility to follow and complete the appropriate procedures for dropping the class.

DEADLINES

Deadlines for adding/dropping classes and refund of fees are published on Important Dates and Deadlines.pdf of this registration guide.
