California State University, San Bernardino Administrative Procedure
Course Repeat
1. Repeat of Courses
ORIGINAL
Repeat of Courses: Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students may only repeat courses if they earned grades lower than a "C." This policy (which went into effect as of Fall 2009) applies to any grade earned at CSUSB at any time. A maximum of twenty-four (24) units may be repeated for grade forgiveness (formerly called grade discounting). An additional eighteen quarter units may be repeated with both grades averaged into the grade point average calculation. Students are allowed a maximum of three (3) attempts per non-repeatable course. No repeats will be allowed beyond these limits.
http://bulletin.csusb.edu/academic-regulations/
REVISED
Repeat of Courses: Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students may only repeat courses if they earned grades lower than a "C." This policy applies to any grade earned at CSUSB at any time. A maximum of eighteen (18) quarter units (12 semester units) may be repeated for grade forgiveness. An additional eighteen (18) quarter units (12 semester units) may be repeated with both grades averaged into the grade point average calculation. Students are allowed a maximum of two attempts per course (1 original and 1 repeat). Permission to enroll for the 3rd attempt requires approval of Undergraduate Studies. Repeated courses are generally enrolled during the Open Enrollment period (assuming space is available in the course).
77
Developed – GI 2025 Transparent Policies and Procedures Approved – Academic Affairs Council (Spring 2018) Updated Fall 2018
2. Grade Forgiveness
ORIGINAL
Course Repeats with Grade Forgiveness
Grade forgiveness (discounting a grade) for a repeated course is by petition only. If the petition for grade forgiveness is approved, the new grade replaces the former grade in terms of GPA calculation. Petitions should be filed after the completion of the course used to discount the previous course. Students are strongly encouraged to speak with an advisor before repeating a course for grade forgiveness to ensure that the student is eligible to repeat that course to discount the grade.
http://bulletin.csusb.edu/academic-regulations/
REVISED
Course Repeats with Grade Forgiveness
Grade forgiveness (discounting a grade) follows the current grade forgiveness campus process, with the grade of the last course completed being used for GPA calculations (up to the 18 quarter units or 12 semester units permitted for grade forgiveness). Students are allowed a maximum of two attempts per course (1 original and 1 repeat). Permission to enroll for the 3rd attempt requires approval of Undergraduate Studies. Repeated courses may only be enrolled during the Open Enrollment period (assuming space is available in the course). Grade forgiveness is not applicable for courses which the original grade was the result of a finding of academic dishonesty. Students are strongly encouraged to speak with an advisor before repeating a course for grade forgiveness to ensure that the student is eligible to repeat that course to discount the grade.
88
Developed – GI 2025 Transparent Policies and Procedures Approved – Academic Affairs Council (Spring 2018) Updated Fall 2018
Appendix 1 – EO 1037
B. Repetition of Courses
1. Undergraduate students may repeat courses only if they earned grades lower
than a C.
2. Course Repeats with “Grade Forgiveness” (Grade forgiveness is the circumstance
in which the new grade replaces the former grade in terms of the calculation of GPA,
etc.):
2.a. Undergraduate students may repeat up to 16 semester-units (24
quarter-units) with grade forgiveness.
2.b. Undergraduate students may repeat an individual course for grade
forgiveness no more than two times.
2.c. Grade forgiveness shall not be applicable to courses for which the
original grade was the result of a finding of academic dishonesty.
3. Course Repeats with “Grades Averaged”:
Campuses may permit undergraduate students to repeat an additional 12
semester-units (18 quarter-units), i.e., units in addition to the 16 semester-units
(24 quarter- units) for which grade “replacement” is permitted. In such
instances the repeat grade shall not replace the original grade; instead both
grades shall be calculated into the student’s overall grade-point average.
4. Campuses may elect to be more restrictive on course repeats than the maxima
listed above.
5. The limits apply only to units completed at the campus.

ECM 18-07
• The EC had much discussion on SOTE’s, numbers, number of published articles, etc.• Need to have clear criteria and what they need to achieve.• Suggest SOTE’s count for a “percentage” of the weight given• Numbers are very easily manipulated.• Soften numbers on the SOTE’s and soften quality of publications• The voice of students is very important.• A baseline for publications should be established• SOTE’s do not predict student learning or quality of learning• Numbers make it too easy for the evaluator• Senator Chen wants to review the “policy consistencies”.• What should the number of years to apply for tenure be? Should there be a number of years
needed to work on the campus to apply? This is something we will be working on this year.Service credit issue still remains.
• FAM lists specific guidelines under Chapter 5, Personnel Evaluations for creatingdepartmental evaluation guidelines: Research: “Guidelines must avoid setting specificquantitative goals since each evaluation committee must evaluate both quantitative andqualitative aspects of professional activities and achievements.”
• To change this, we will have to reverse what the Senate voted (see above).
8. Priority Registration Appointment Process – Craig Seal, Olivia Rosas, Amy Braceros• Want to get away from the term “priority”—look more at who needs to graduate first• Former Vets, Foster Youth, Students with Disabilities, Note Takers will continue to have an
earlier registration appointment.• Those with honors and other academic recognition will still have priority within their classes.
You would have an earlier registration appointment and would not see “priorityregistration.”

Tenets of System Level Shared Governance in the California State University
The Academic Senate of the California State University (ASCSU) and the Chancellor affirm their
commitment that joint decision making is the long-accepted manner of shared governance at the system
level.i Shared governance refers to the appropriately shared authority, responsibility and cooperative
action among governing boards, administration and faculty in the governance and accountability of an
academic institution.ii
The Constitution of the ASCSU establishes the purpose of the systemwide senate, as well as the
means of consultation and decision making by which the senate will act.iii Both the ASCSU and the
chancellor recognize there will be areas of consultation and decision making in which one party or the
other will have primary responsibility.iv In the case of the faculty, primacy includes academic programs,
curricula, methods of instruction, and areas of student life that directly relate to the educational process.v
In these areas the ASCSU is the formal policy-recommending body on systemwide academic and
curricular policy and matters that directly impact them; it is also the primary consultative body on the
academic implications of systemwide fiscal decisions.vi The authority of the faculty in these areas derives
from its recognized expertise in academic matters. The chancellor maintains administrative responsibility
for the institution. The chancellor shares responsibility for the defining and attaining of systemwide goals,
which may include goals for the educational program, and the communication that links all components.
In the case of academic policy, proposals for changes in policy or for new policy may arise from
academic administrators.vii Both parties accept the fiduciary and governing authority of the Board of
Trustees of the California State University ultimately to set policy. For the CSU, consultation must take
place with the ASCSU in areas of faculty primacy described above. This primacy means the faculty voice
is given the greatest weight, although the authority for the final decision resides in the Office of the
Chancellor. In areas of faculty primacy, recommendations of the faculty are normally accepted, except in
rare instances and for compelling reasons.viii
Consultation and mutual respect are key components of shared governance. Effective consultation
and joint decision making result in decisions that better serve the CSU and its students. While discussions
may take place in different forms with other constituencies, faculty consultation means that there is an
established process of deliberation that offers a means for the faculty–either as a whole or through
authorized representatives–to develop and provide formal input in advance of decision making on the
particular issue under consideration. System level policy affecting faculty primacy areas shall result from
consultation between the chancellor and the ASCSU. Joint decision making in these areas results from
effective consultation, as characterized below. While the ASCSU serves as the official voice of the
faculty on systemwide issues, campus senates serve as the official voice of their respective faculty.
26
Consistent with the precepts of this document, but not expressly addressed herein, campuses have their
own relationships with the Office of the Chancellor. A normative culture of meaningful consultation
must be characterized by:
x openness and transparency;x commitment to civility, integrity, respect and open communication;x mutual responsibility for decisions;x trust, including trust of good intentions;x a commitment to responsible participation on the part of all parties;x a respect for evidence-based deliberation;x a recognition of established best practices and promising new data-driven practices in the
evaluation of subjects under consideration; andx a recognition that consultation must allow both parties the time to consider, debate, develop their
responses and work toward consensus while recognizing the need to proceed in a timely manner.
In accordance with the above described culture of consultation, any plan or policy that could
affect faculty primacy areas and that may actually or potentially result in an executive order, shall be
provided in draft form to the ASCSU body (or Executive Committee if during the summer), allowing for
a reasonable review period (normally expected to approximate 75 days). If requested by the Executive
Committee, additional extensions to obtain feedback may be authorized by mutual agreement. Each party
recognizes that there will be occasional circumstances in which time constraints do not allow for normal
systems of consultation to work effectively. The formal consultation process will therefore make
provision to allow for an explicit agreement between the ASCSU and the chancellor to engage in a
mutually agreed-upon process of expedited consultation in such cases, while still recognizing the formal
role of the academic senates as the faculty voice on the matters under consideration. In the unlikely event
that agreement cannot be reached, the chancellor will decide. Because an expedited process is not the
most optimal form of consultation and shortchanges a robust shared governance process, its use should be
limited to those rare circumstances that justify departing from the more comprehensive process intended
by this document.
Ultimately, genuine consultation based on sound reasoning occurs only in such a time and
manner that each party has a reasonable opportunity to affect the decision being made.
i In California, the faculty role in shared governance and the centrality of joint decision making in that process is clarified in the Higher Education Employee Relations Act (HEERA); HEERA was to establish collective bargaining for faculty at CSU to insure that in doing so, traditional shared governance practices are not inhibited or undermined: “The Legislature recognizes that joint decision making and consultation between administration and faculty or academic employees is the long-accepted manner of governing institutions of higher learning and is essential to the performance of the educational missions of these institutions, and declares that it is the purpose of this chapter to both preserve and encourage that process. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to
27
restrict, limit, or prohibit the full exercise of the functions of the faculty in any shared governance mechanisms or practices...” https://www.perb.ca.gov/laws/statutes.aspx#ST3560 ii https://www.aaup.org/report/statement-government-colleges-and-universities. iii http://www.calstate.edu/acadsen/records/about_the_senate/documents/constitution_2013_revision.pdf iv https://www.aaup.org/report/statement-government-colleges-and-universities. v https://www.aaup.org/report/statement-government-colleges-and-universities. vi http://www.calstate.edu/acadsen/records/about_the_senate/documents/constitution_2013_revision.pdf vii https://www.aaup.org/report/statement-government-colleges-and-universities. viii Report of the Board of Trustees’ Ad Hoc Committee on Governance, Collegiality, and Responsibility in the California State University. Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the California State. University, September 1985.
Addendum
This document resulted from a series of meetings between members of the ASCSU Executive Committee (Christine Miller, Catherine Nelson, Simone Aloisio, Thomas Krabacher, and Robert Keith Collins) and members of the leadership team at the Office of the Chancellor (Timothy White, Loren Blanchard, Christine Mallon, James Minor and Leo Van Cleve). The meetings took place during the 2017-18 academic year, and culminated in mutual agreement on May 8, 2018.
The following definitions aided in the crafting of this document:
Chancellor: For the purpose of this document the Chancellor refers broadly to the functions assigned to the Chancellor and the staff who work in the Office of the Chancellor.
The following definitions are used by the American Association of University Professors and the American Conference of Academic Deans in surveys of higher education governance in 1970 and 2001.(�)
“Consultation: Consultation means that there is a formal procedure or established practice which provides a means for the faculty (as a whole or through authorized representatives) to present its judgment in the form of a recommendation, vote or other expression sufficiently explicit to record the position or positions taken by the faculty. This explicit expression of faculty judgment must take place prior to the actual making of the decision in question. Initiative for the expression of faculty judgment may come from the faculty, the administration, or the board.”
“Discussion: Discussion means that there is only an informal expression of opinion from the faculty or from individual faculty members; or that there is formally expressed opinion only from administratively selected committees.”

FACULTY SENATE RESOLUTION ON CSU ELECTRONIC CORE COLLECTION FUNDING
RESOLVED: That the Faculty Senate of California State University San Bernardino strongly supports centralized funding of an Electronic Core Collection (ECC) of library information resources for all CSU campuses, and be it further
RESOLVED: That the Faculty Senate of California State University San Bernardino understands that the Electronic Core Collection (ECC) funding, as it was set up over a decade ago, is static, with no realistic provision made for inflation. In the recent past, annual “rescues” have been necessary to avoid egregious cuts in the collection.
RESOLVED: That the Faculty Senate of California State University San Bernardino recognizes that centralized funding benefits every CSU campus and is essential for campuses with smaller library budgets because the ECC provides direct access to general and disciplinary resources that would be difficult to fund and sustain locally; and be it further
RESOLVED: That the Faculty Senate of California State University San Bernardino recognizes that centralized acquisitions of electronic resources allows the CSU system to leverage its purchasing power to negotiate prices that may be unachievable at the individual campus; and be it further
RESOLVED: That the Faculty Senate of California State University San Bernardino strongly supports increasing base ECC funding: 1) to address resource cost inflation to prevent the cancellation of resources on which faculty relyto support the teaching, learning, research, and creative activities of the faculty and students ofthe CSU,2) to allow expansion of the ECC so that all CSU students and faculty, regardless of campusaffiliation, have access to a strong core of disciplinary and general resources to meet theirscholarly needs; and be it further
RESOLVED: That this resolution be shared with the Chancellor; the Assistant Vice Chancellor, Academic Technology Services; the CSU Academic Affairs Council; The CSU Council of Library Directors (COLD); California State University San Bernardino Foundation Board of Directors; and the committees charged with oversight and management of the ECC (SDLC and EAR).
29
RATIONALE: A resolution in support of increased ECC funding passed the CSU Academic Senate unanimously on January 17-18 (AS-3351-18/FGA/AA (Rev)). As noted in that resolution:
The ECC started in 1999 and in 2008, the Academic Senate of the California State University endorsed the Virtual Library AS-2854-08/AA of which the Electronic Core Collection (ECC) collection is part for CSU students and faculty. Since 2008, the budget has stagnated at $5 million with no augmentations in ten years. As a result, due to increasing costs of information resources and inflation, the purchasing power of the ECC has diminished and information sources cut to keep within the budget.
This resolution affirms the need for increased funding and brings attention to the special importance of central funding and support for the CSU libraries with smaller library budgets.
Centralized management of the ECC and its funds makes it possible to leverage the CSU’s purchasing power to achieve economies of scale in the acquisition of resources, ensuring that campuses are supported in the most cost-effective way. A sizable augmentation of the ECC budget (as recommended in the ASCSU resolution) will allow a significant expansion of the resources available to all campuses. The ECC is currently composed of the following resources:
ABI Inform (ProQuest) Academic Search Premier (EBSCO) Academic Complete eBooks (ProQuest) American Chemical Society Journal Archives American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS Ebooks Collection) America History and Life (EBSCO) Biological Abstracts (Thomson) CINAHL (EBSCO) Communication and Mass Media Complete (EBSCO) CQ Researcher Digital Dissertations Package A: Humanities and Social Sciences (ProQuest) Ethnic NewsWatch GenderWatch Global Newsstream (ProQuest) Grove’s Music JSTOR Arts and Sciences (12 collections) Life Sciences Collection (JSTOR) MathSciNet Mergent Online Modern Language Association (EBSCO and ProQuest) NetLibrary (EBSCO) Oxford English Dictionary Project Muse Standard Collection
