Registration and Fees

Student Registration

Who may register for an Intersession Class?
You are not required to be formally admitted to the university to take an Intersession class. If you are 18 years of age or older or are a high school graduate and have met course prerequisites, you may register for an Intersession class. Matriculated and disqualified students, as well as the public, may take Intersession classes.    

If you expect to complete degree or credential requirements through Intersession, you should confirm with your advisor regarding course applicability. Registration in Intersession does not ensure registration for, or admission to, the university, nor should it be interpreted as acceptance to any degree or credential program. If you are interested in formal admission to California State University, Fresno, contact the Office of Admissions, Records and Evaluations at 559.278.2261.                 

How to register

If you need assistance, the Division staff is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m via email (cgeinfo@csufresno.edu) or phone  at 559.278.0333 The last day to register for Winter Intersession is December 28, 2022.

Wait Lists

Wait lists are available for Winter Intersession. If you are placed on a wait list for a Winter Intersession class, be sure to check your Fresno State email account daily to find out if you have been moved from the wait list to the class roster. Beginning November 17, your fees are due within 24 hours after you are placed on the class roster.

Go/No-Go

Decisions about which Intersession classes “go” will be made based upon the number of registrations received by November 16 and the list of courses declared a “go” will be posted on the Winter Intersession web page. Classes with insufficient enrollment will be cancelled. If your class is cancelled by the University, you may enroll in a different Intersession class, or you will receive an automatic refund. (see Drop/Withdrawal/Refunds section below)

Late Registrations 
Beginning November 17, if there is space in the class, you may enroll through December 28, 2023. This is the Immediate Pay Registration period and fees are due within 24 hours of registration. Registrations are not accepted after December 28, 2023.

Grading Option
Changes in Grading Option must be made no later than Friday of the first week of class. For classes meeting four or fewer days, changes in Grading Option must be made prior to the class start date. 

Select your choice of grading option—Letter; CR/NC (credit or no credit), or Audit—choosing only what is available for your class (verify with department if enrolling in person). The grading option you designate is what will be posted on your permanent transcript, providing that option is available for the course. 

Grades
 
Intersession grades will be averaged into the student’s Fresno State GPA. Grades will be available after January 17, 2023 at my.fresnostate.edu
