Discount of Grade

Classified and Conditionally Classified Graduate Students

Classified and conditionally classified graduate students may be permitted to repeat one course at CSUSB that was taken for graduate credit (ie. that is applied towards a master's degree) one time only by petition to and approval of the college or department graduate committee. The petition requesting permission includes an automatic request to discount the first attempt. When approved, the original course grade on the student's permanent record will be discounted. Only the second grade earned shall apply to the student's cumulative postbaccalaureate grade point average. The first attempt will appear on the transcript with the repeat (discount) noted. Subsequent repeats of course will be averaged.

Classified and conditionally classified graduate students may be permitted to repeat a course taken as an undergraduate once with approval of the advisor and only to remove a deficiency. A subsequent repeat must be approved by the college or department graduate committee. In no case shall such credit be counted toward the units required for a master's degree. The second grade earned shall apply toward the student's cumulative postbaccalaureate grade point average and shall not replace the grade in the undergraduate record. Subsequent repeats of course will be averaged.


Classified Postbaccalaureate Students (Credential)

Classified postbacalaureate students (for example, students officially admitted to teaching credential programs) may be permitted to repeat a course taken as an undergraduate only by petition to and approval of the appropriate college or department committee and the grade earned shall not replace the grade in the undergraduate record. Courses taken for postbaccalaureate credit may be repeated at CSUSB only by petition to and approval of the appropriate college or department committee. In both cases the second grade earned shall apply to the student's cumulative postbaccalaureate grade point average. Subsequent repeats of course will be averaged.


Unclassified Postbaccalaureate Students

Unclassified postbaccalaureate students may be permitted to repeat a course taken as an undergraduate. However, the grade earned shall not replace the grade in the undergraduate record. Unclassified postbaccalaureate students who are taking courses that are not part of a graduate degree program and who are not pursuing any degree objectives are subject to the same repeat of courses regulations as undergraduates. Courses taken for postbaccalaureate credit by an undergraduate as defined under "Postbaccalaureate Credit for Seniors", may be repeated at CSUSB only by petition to and approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies. In both cases, the last grade earned shall apply to the student's postbaccalaureate grade point average. Subsequent repeats of course will be averaged.
