Repeat Exception Petition

Effective Fall 2009, the CSU Chancellor's Office policy established maximum limits on repeated courses. These policies are not flexible, however in certain limited cases based on serious and compelling circumstances, along with documentation for these circumstances, a student may submit a Repeat Exception Petition for review and decision.

If you have exceeded the 28 repeat limit and do not have sufficient repeat units remaining or have taken a course three times, you must submit a request for a repeat exception. Business students requesting an exception will be limited to six units of coursework in the Fall/Spring semester they plan to enroll.

  1. Fill out the Repeat Count Request Form (PDF) found on the Registration and Record's (R&R) website to receive a Repeat Exception petition.
  2. Fill out Section A (student portion) of the Repeat Count Request form
  3. Email the form to Alice Williams ( alicwilliams@fullerton.edu)
  4. After your Repeat Count Request Form is reviewed and approved you will receive the Repeat Exception Petition.
