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.

STEP 1 - The Repeat Count Request Form

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 Karla Wirth (kwirth@fullerton.edu)
4. After your Repeat Count Request Form is reviewed and approved you will receive the Repeat Exception Petition. 

STEP 2 - Repeat Exception Petition

1. Fill out the Repeat Exception Petition and obtain your documentation.
2. Submit Repeat Exception Petition and documentation to the Director of Business Advising via email to dmazzey@fullerton.edu 
3. Once the petition is reviewed, which may take 3 - 4 business days, you will be notified by email to schedule a meeting with the Director of Business Advising.

Registration and Records will work with you to determine the timing of submitting your petition. NOTE: The review process and meeting with the Director in the College of Business and Economics (CBE) can take 3 weeks. Therefore please be sure you plan ahead when submitting your Repeat Exception Petition. Keep in mind that if a Repeat Exception Petition is received after the start of the semester, the CBE reserves the right to review the petition for the subsequent semester. Please plan accordingly.
