Repeating Courses To activate tabpage press spacebar. When can I repeat a course? You may repeat a course previously taken at CSUN when Nonrestrictive Registration begins (no enrollment appointment is needed). For specific dates, see the Registration Calendar.
All matriculated CSUN students (i.e., those enrolled in CSUN degree or certificate programs) receive an enrollment appointment each fall and spring semester. Your personal enrollment appointment is the earliest date and time that you can register for fall or spring classes.
Students enrolling in a course for the first time receive priority over students wishing to repeat a course. Students may enroll in a repeated course on a space-available basis starting several weeks before fall or spring classes begin. For enrollment dates, visit the Registration Calendar.
Registration in repeated courses may be limited to certain registration periods. Check the Registration Calendar for allowed dates. Undergraduate students may take an individual course no more than three times. Only one repeat per course is permitted for improving the grade, with the higher of the two grades counted in the student’s GPA.
Undergraduate students may take an individual course no more than three times. Only one repeat per course is permitted for improving the grade, with the higher of the two grades counted in the student's GPA.
What is CSUN's Repeat Policy? A maximum of 16 units at CSUN may be repeated for grade forgiveness (only the newer, and presumably higher, grade is used in calculating a GPA). Only courses with grades of C- or lower may be repeated. Normally, only one repeat per course is permitted for grade forgiveness.
Students in most programs can repeat a passed or failed course twice for degree or certificate credit, to a maximum of three attempts per course. Although the previous attempts remain on your academic record, only the most recent attempt counts toward your credit totals and grade point averages.
Students who repeat the course and then earn an F do retain credit earned from the previous attempt. In both cases, the original grade remains on the student record, plus the original and subsequent grades are included in the grade-point average if the course is acceptable toward graduation.
An additional 12 semester units of coursework may be repeated for grade averaging, i.e., both the original grade and the repeat(s) will be calculated into the student's total GPA. Students cannot improve grades of courses taken at CSUN by repeating them at another institution.
Policies and Procedures Grades A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D- indicate passing grades; F indicates failure. Faculty define the grading criteria for all courses. Any changes in grading policies should be provided in writing to students before such changes are implemented.
Retaking a course may raise your student's GPA (grade point average). In many schools, if a student retakes a course, the most recent grade will replace the lower grade in the student's GPA. The earlier, lower grade will remain on the transcript, but will not be included in the GPA.
Repeat & Retake of Course(s) A student obtaining “F” grade in any course in any Trimester will have to “Repeat” the course with full payment of tuition fee for that particular course. Students desiring to improve their grade(s) may again take up course(s) which are termed as “Retake”.
The second grade always replaces the first grade. However, you can retake a class and get a worse grade. For example, if you have a D (a passing grade) and retake a course and receive an F (a failing grade), you now have a failing grade in the course and will have to take the class for a third time.
1) Not only do schools have repeat-option policies, most schools allow you to repeat more than one course. But you have to repeat a course that had a letter grade for the same course with a letter grade.
Repeating a grade increases the risk. Kids who are much younger than grade-level peers and who have a history of struggling academically can benefit from repeating a grade. It can be a better fit emotionally and age-wise.
A repeated course will result in a grade averaged and calculated in the GPA. If a student earns a grade of D, F, WU, or NC on the second attempt, the grades in all attempts will be averaged into their GPA.
A maximum of 16 semester units of CSUN coursework in which a student earned less than a “C” grade may be repeated for the purpose of excluding grades (grade forgiveness) from the computation of the student’s overall GPA. Only the first 16 semester units are eligible for grade forgiveness.
Check the Registration Calendar for allowed dates. Undergraduate students may take an individual course no more than three times.
Only the first 16 semester units are eligible for grade forgiveness. An additional 12 semester units of coursework may be repeated for grade averaging, i.e. both the original grade and the repeat (s) will be calculated into the student’s total GPA.
If a student enrolls in a course for a third time, the units attempted and any grade points earned will be averaged with all other grades earned for the course (except ones that were awarded grade forgiveness).
Grade forgiveness is not permitted for courses for which the original grade was the result of a finding of academic dishonesty.
The University recognizes that undergraduate students may need to repeat one or more courses in order to fulfill degree requirements and/or enhance previously acquired skills. However, students should seek academic advisement before deciding to repeat any course.
Students cannot improve grades of courses taken at CSUN by repeating them at another institution. Students cannot improve grades of courses taken at another institution by repeating them at CSUN. The stated limits (16 units for grade forgiveness and 12 units for grade averaging) apply only to units completed at CSUN.
Each time you are disqualified, the rules change for readmission to the University. After the third disqualification, the student must wait 5 years before reapplying to CSUN and taking classes, including those offered through The Tseng College (Extended Learning).
Wait listing is similar to adding a class. Log into myNorthridge Portal, select Enroll in a Class, and look up the closed class section (s) you want to wait list for. On the class Enrollment Preferences page, check the "wait list if class is full" box.
If you haven’t met the requisites for a class, you won’t be able to enroll in it. Take a moment to understand requisites.
Another kind of requisite is a co-requisite, which means two or more classes must be taken concurrently (e.g., a lecture and related lab such as BIOL 106 and BIOL 106L).
Request permission to enroll in a class from the academic department or the professor as follows: Before classes begin, you can usually obtain a permission number from the academic department . When classes begin, you should attend the class and request a permission number from the professor (in most cases).
Swapping classes allows you to “trade” one class for another without giving up your seat in the original class until your enrollment in the new class is confirmed. When you drop a class and add another as two separate transactions, you risk not having a seat in either class.
Enrollment requirements and policies are established to ensure fairness and to uphold academic standards. On one hand, you are obliged to take responsibility for your actions, such as the requirement to participate in classes, as stated in the attendance policy. On the other hand, you may have a good reason to request a policy exception.
Repeats from Enrollment – Units you’re repeating in the current term or semester. Units will move to the forgiven or averaged columns after grades are posted and end-of-term processing is complete.
Courses will move to the forgiven or averaged list about 3 weeks after fall or spring finals end.
Summary – Counts the units available for withdrawal starting with the Fall 2009 semester. Withdrawal limit: 18 units.
In response to the current health situation, the Chancellor’s Office of the California State University is temporarily suspending some repeat and withdrawal policies for undergraduate students only for the Spring 2020 semester. For details, see Enrollment Requirements – “Repeating Courses” and “Withdrawals.”
Students are not permitted to withdraw or repeat beyond the unit limits established by the following policies:
Beginning with the Fall 2009 semester, withdrawals and units repeated for grade averaging will be counted from zero. However, units repeated for grade forgiveness are counted for your entire CSUN career.

Tseng College classes are self-enrichment and professional development courses offered on a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) basis. Course offerings that do not carry academic credit or unit value still become part of a student's academic record, but a student's performance in these classes has no effect on his/her overall regular university grade ...
Students in these classes earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). One CEU equals 10 hours of class participation. CEUs cannot be converted to academic credit units in the California State University system.
