Student Appeal of Grade Disputes or Charges of Academic Dishonesty
Students have the right of due process if they feel they have been treated unfairly or with prejudice. They may appeal a grade dispute or charge of academic dishonesty to the coordinator of academic appeals, who will guide them through the procedure to be followed. The student must go through several steps seeking to resolve the issue before it can be considered by the Academic Appeals Board, which comprises three faculty members and two students.
There is a strict time limit for the appeals process. The student must meet with the faculty member within 30 calendar days of the first day of the following semester (spring or fall). If the appeal cannot be resolved with the faculty member, department chair or dean, a written appeal must be submitted to the coordinator of academic appeals within 60 calendar days of the first day of the following semester. Contact the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for further information.

- Network and develop industry contacts
- Earn academic credit
- Solidify academic and career goals
- Earn money while learning
- Explore various career options within a major
- Demonstrate personal and social responsibility
- Become engaged in their communities and issues of concern to them
The programs involve the cooperation of faculty, employers and service sites that provide opportunities for students to fulfill their academic, civic and professional needs. Each academic internship/service-learning placement is monitored by the site while faculty members provide guidance to students, ensuring the academic integrity of the work/service experience.
Students who wish to participate in service-learning should explore their departments’ course offerings for those that include service-learning. In addition, some departments offer international service-learning opportunities.
Students participating in academic internships must:
- Be at least in their junior year of study or have instructor consent
- Be in good academic standing
- Meet the prerequisites and minimum GPA required by the department
- Receive approval from the appropriate faculty coordinator

Assistance is available from a variety of programs funded by federal and state grants, student loans, student employment opportunities, as well as scholarships provided by the university and private sources. Students who demonstrate significant financial need may qualify for grant aid, while students with less need may obtain low cost loans. Financial need is determined through a formula that assesses the family’s relative financial strength and ability to contribute to meeting the student’s educational costs. The single most important step students can take each year is to ensure the submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act (CDA) Application to CSUF by the priority filing date.

The residence halls are designed to focus on the needs of incoming first-year students and house 1,195 students in double- and triple-occupancy bedrooms clustered around community bathrooms. Active rooms and study rooms are centrally located on each floor, assisting students through purposeful interactions within their community. Opened in 2011, the residence halls were awarded the first Platinum LEED certification in California by the U.S. Green Building Council.
