The online 2001-03 Catalog in PDF format is an archival document and does not reflect changes that may take place during the period between publication dates. Updates are listed here for courses and curricular corrections or revisions. Any changes made since publication of the Catalog have been indicated, and the affected PDF pages have been provided with a red arrow () and a link, via adjacent blue text, to a PDF version of this list.

Grade Symbol Changes	87	Executive order 792 from the CSU Chancellor’s Office mandates that effective with Fall 2002 grading cycle, the grading symbols U (Incomplete Unauthorized) and SP (Satisfactory Progress) are replaced and can no longer be used. The new grading symbols are now WU and RP; specific wording from the executtive order follows: WU (Withdrawal Unauthorized) – The symbol “WU” indicates that an enrolled student did not withdraw from the course and also failed to complete the course requirements. It is used when, in the opinion of the instructor, completed assignments or course activities or both were insufficient to make normal evaluation of academic performance possible. For purposes of grade point average and progress point compilation this symbol is equivalent to an “F”. RP (Report In Progress) – The “RP” symbol is used in connection with courses that extend beyond one academic term. It indicates that work is in progress but that assignment of a final grade must await completion of additional work. Work is to be completed within one year except for graduate thesis.

Refunds of Registration Fees	63	Title 5 Refund Policy: Refunds of Registration Fees Please refer to the Class Schedule for dates relevant to each term. * To qualify for a full refund of mandatory campus fees, and nonresident tuition if applicable, all courses must be dropped through CAPTURE or POWER PRIOR to the first day of the academic term. * Resident students who drop some but not all units on or before the last day of the drop period, changing their enrollment status from over 6 units to 6 units or less, will be entitled to a refund of the resulting reduction in the State University fee, plus half of any college based portion of the campus academic fee. * Nonresident students who drop some but not all units on or before the last day to drop will be entitled to a refund of the applicable difference in tuition. If the dropped units changes enrollment status from over 6 units to 6 units or less, nonresident students will also be entitled to a refund of the resulting reduction in the State University fee, plus half of any college-based portion of the campus academic fee. * Beginning with the first day of the academic term, students who drop all courses prior to the end of the drop period or who officially withdraw no later than the sixty percent point in the academic term shall be entitled to a pro-rata refund of mandatory campus fees, and nonresident tuition if applicable.
