How to Make Up Missing Courses
Students who are struggling to pass a high school class in the CSU “a-g” requirements risk having their admission offer rescinded. However, if you do not pass a required class, you can make up this course in the summer of 2021 by enrolling in adult school or summer school to make up the course and meet admissions requirements.
In order to prevent your admission from being rescinded, fill out our summer coursework request form to let us know about your intention to meet you’re “a-g” requirement this summer. You will need to provide proof of course enrollment at the time of submission. The deadline to submit this form is June 4.
If your request for summer coursework is approved, your admission will remain conditional until we receive proof that you passed the course and are eligible to attend Stanislaus State. If you cannot prove you are admissible prior to the fall semester, your offer of admission will be officially rescinded.
