Incomplete
Grades
The
symbol "I" (Incomplete Authorized) indicates that a portion of required
course work has not been completed and evaluated in the prescribed course
session dates 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 attention of the instructor
and to determine from the instructor the remaining course requirements that
must be satisfied to remove the Incomplete.
Agreement
as to the conditions for removal of the Incomplete will be in writing, signed
by the instructor, student, and the department chair (or designee) and
placed on file with the appropriate academic department until the
Incomplete is removed or the time limit passed. A final grade is assigned
when the work agreed upon has been completed and evaluated.
An
"I" (Incomplete Authorized) should not be assigned when it is
necessary for the student to attend additional class meetings to complete
the course requirements. An Incomplete must be made up within 12 months of
the end of the term in 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
"F" or "NC" on the academic transcript.
At the
time of degree evaluation, the degree will not be awarded if a student has
any outstanding "I" grades which, if calculated as "F",
would cause the student's grade point average to fall below the minimum
level for graduation in any grade point requirement (CSUS, overall, major,
minor or General Education).
Incomplete
grades are not considered for deletion by the Academic Standards Committee.
*Note:
Students in the military reserve whose units go on active duty during or
around the final examinations period are eligible to receive an
"I".
Department Procedures
The
student must discuss eligibility for an incomplete grade with the
instructor prior to the last day of class.
Student
must complete the department PETITION FOR "I" (INCOMPLETE) GRADE
and obtain signatures prior to the deadline for submission of the petition.

How
to Apply For Reinstatement/Readmission in Economics
I. General Information
A.
Reinstatement/Readmission of Academically Disqualified or Dismissed Students
in Economics
These
guidelines shall will be applied to each student upon application for
Reinstatement/Readmission.
1.
Student must submit a completed petition with all supporting documents.
Incomplete petitions will not be reviewed. The student must submit a
checklist (reviewed by the Department's office staff) as a cover sheet for
his/her petition (see attached page). These documents include those
required by the University. In addition to these, the student would be
required to submit a completed major advising worksheet (see attached page)
2.
Prior to submitting a petition for reinstatement/readmission as an
Economics major, students must have completed the following courses (or
equivalents) with a "C" or better):
- ECON 1A: Introduction to Macroeconomic Analysis
- ECON 1B: Introduction to Microeconomic Analysis
- STAT 1: Introduction to Statistics
- One course satisfying major core requirements (ECON
100A, ECON 100B, ECON 140, ECON 113, or ECON 101) completed at CSUS.
- One additional economics course (core or elective)
completed at CSUS.
3. The
Department will not approve petitions for reinstatement more than once. If
a student is reinstated as an Economics major, then he/she will not be
considered for reinstated again as an Economics major. This restriction
will be waived if a student has 9 units or fewer to complete the
requirements for the Economics major. In such cases, the Department will
not approve reinstatement more than twice, without exception.
4. The
Department will not approve petitions for readmission more than once. If a
student is readmitted as an Economics major, then he/she will not be
considered for readmission again as an Economics major. This restriction
will be waived if a student has 9 units or fewer to complete the requirements
for the Economics major. In such cases, the Department will not approve
reinstatement more than twice, without exception.
5. The
Petition for Reinstatement can be obtained from the Admissions and Records Office
(Lassen Hall) or from the Admissions and records website at: http://webapps1.csus.edu/admr/content/form/reinstatement.pdf
6.
University policies stipulate that students who are dismissed shall not be
considered for enrollment at the University for at least one semester
following dismissal. Students who are academically dismissed should meet
with an academic advisor for advice on developing a plan to remedy the
conditions which led to dismissal so that return to the University is
possible. After their mandatory interruption in enrollment, students who
were dismissed must submit an Appeal for Readmission Following Dismissal to
the University Academic Action Committee. The student's application must
include all required documents including the appeal form, letter, schedule,
course list, and GE evaluation. The appeal must be submitted to the
Economics Department prior to the department's readmission deadline (see
deadlines below). The Appeal for Readmission after Dismissal form is
available from the Admissions and Records Office (Lassen Hall) or from the
Admissions and Records website at: http://webapps1.csus.edu/admr/content/form/dismissal_appeal.pdf
7. The
Department requires
the submission of the reinstatement/readmission
checklist with all required material.
Reinstated
students must meet with an undergraduate Economics advisor to develop a
plan of study. In Addition, as outlined in the University Probation and
Reinstatement Policy, reinstated students will be placed on an academic
contract which may stipulate maximum units, specific courses and achievement
levels. Failure to meet the conditions of the reinstatement contract and/or
failure to achieve a subsequent semester GPA of 2.0 or higher will result
in academic dismissal.
Students
not recommended for reinstatement by the Economics department may be
considered for University reinstatement into a different major when
approved by the department offering that major. Students reinstated as
undeclared shall not be allowed to enroll in upper division major courses
during the period of the contract without the permission of the department
chair or designee for that major. Students whose petitions are approved are
subject to review each semester until the CSUS GPA and overall GPA reach
the minimum standard of 2.0.
