Admissions

All offers of admission to freshmen and transfer students are conditional. Students typically apply before completing their senior year of high school or last semester of community college. Applying prior to the completion of high school or community college means that one or more classes are in progress and we will not have final grades for these courses until later in the year.

We conditionally admit students based on self-reported and in-progress coursework as filled out on the application in Cal State Apply during the application filing period.

All applicants must maintain eligibility by completing all courses with passing grades, submitting required test scores (SAT, ACT, TOEFL, etc), and adhering to all deadlines and other requirements.
