Advising & Registering for Classes
Newly-admitted Transfers will register for their first semester while at Dog Days: New Student Orientation in the months before beginning at Fresno State. During this session, students will receive Academic Advising, a class schedule, and assistance with registration.
UNIVERSITY OUTREACH SERVICES DOES NOT ASSIST STUDENTS WITH REGISTRATION. Please contact Dog Days: New Student Orientation for assistance with registration.
Recommended Preparation. Students intending to transfer to California State University, Fresno should plan their programs while attending other colleges to meet our General Education and major degree requirements. Students transferring from a California community college should complete as many of the CSU General Education requirements of that college as possible while keeping in mind that a maximum of 70 transferable units is allowed from two-year institutions (community/junior colleges). For more information, visit the California Articulation Web site. A General Education Certification (requested only from California public community/junior colleges and California State University campuses) should be sent to California State University, Fresno along with the final transcripts. Earning an A.A. or A.S. degree does not necessarily mean one has fulfilled CSU admission and/or General Education requirements.
After admission to California State University, Fresno, transfer students with a declared major, entering with 40 or more units will receive a copy of their advanced standing evaluation (DARS), indicating how previous college units have been applied toward degree requirements at California State University, Fresno. Questions about one's evaluation should be directed to the student's adviser or the Evaluations Office. It is recommended that transfer students bring with them an unofficial copy of all previous college transcripts and their CSU General Education Certification when attending New Student Orientation and Advising Day to ensure accurate advising.
Class Schedule. An official Class Schedule is available for purchase at the bookstore and listed online each semester with registration procedures, courses offered, class hours and locations, and other important deadlines and updated policy changes as applicable. The schedule is available via the Web at http://www.csufresno.edu/schedule/current/schedulesearch/default.shtml
Full-time/Part-time Students. Students taking at least 75 percent of the normal academic load are considered full-time students. Since the normal academic load is 15 semester hours, students carrying 12 or more semester hours are full-time students.
Excess Unit/Enrollment Restrictions Undergraduate. Undergraduate students are cautioned against registering for more than 18 units without consulting with an adviser, since more than 18 units is generally considered to be an academic overload.
Change of Major. Each undergraduate student who wishes to change his or her major must do so at the Admissions/Records service windows, Joyal Administration Building, North Lobby, to initiate the procedure.
Adding/Dropping Courses. Once registered, a student may add and drop courses through the tenth day of instruction.
Registration is complete only when all class selection through Web registration is finalized and all fees are paid. See the Academic Calendar for all deadline dates.
See the current University Catalog for full information on registration
