Graduate applications will be reviewed by the individual academic departments to determine eligibility for the requested
graduate program.
TOEFL. To ensure that students are prepared to take advantage of the educational opportunities available at California
State University, Fresno, each international student who must submit TOEFL scores will be required to participate in a post-admission
testing program. The test will be administered during orientation immediately before the student's first matriculated
semester. The purpose of the testing program (e.g. the University English Exam) is to assess strengths and weaknesses in
written English. As a result of the post-admission testing, a student may be required to enroll in certain English as a Second
Language (ESL) courses. TOEFL will be waived for those students who hold a bachelor's degree from a U.S. university.
An undergraduate student whose academic qualifications are acceptable, but who has not achieved an acceptable TOEFL
score, may be granted a conditional admission. Such a student must obtain an I-20 form (Certificate of Eligibility) from an
English language school and attend an English as a Second Language (ESL) program. In order to transfer from a language
school to California State University, Fresno, a conditionally admitted student must present an official TOEFL score of 500
on the pencil-based exam or 173 on the computer-based exam, on a test taken within the last two years. (See also TOEFL
Requirement.)
Insurance Requirement. Effective August 1,1995, as a condition of receiving an I-20 or IAP-66 form, all F-1 and J-1 visa
applicants must agree to obtain and maintain health insurance as a condition of registration and continued enrollment in the
California State University. Such insurance must be in amounts as specified by the United States Information Agency (USIA)
and NAFSA: Association of International Educators. The campus president or designee shall determine which insurance
policies meet these criteria. Further information may be obtained from the International Student Services and Programs Office
at 278.2782
Determination of Residency for Tuition Purposes
University requirements for establishing residency for tuition purposes are independent from those of other types of residency,
such as for tax purposes, or other state or institutional residency. These regulations were promulgated not to determine whether
a student is a resident or nonresident of California, but rather to determine whether a student should pay University fees on an
in-state or out-of-state basis. A resident for tuition purposes is someone who meets the requirements set forth in the Uniform
Student Residency Requirements. These laws governing residency for tuition purposes at the California State University are
California Education Code sections 68000-68090, 68120-68134, and 89705-89707.5, and California Code of Regulations,
Title 5, Subchapter 5, Article 4, sections 41900-41916. This material can be viewed on the Internet by accessing the California
State University's website at www.calstate.edu/GC/resources.shtml.
Each campus's Admissions Office is responsible for determining the residency status of all new and returning students based
on the Application for Admission, Residency Questionnaire, Reclassification Request Form, and, as necessary, other evidence
furnished by the student. A student who fails to submit adequate information to establish eligibility for resident classification
will be classified as a nonresident.
Generally, establishing California residency for tuition purposes requires a combination of physical presence and intent to
remain indefinitely. An adult who, at least 366 days prior to the residency determination date for the term in which enrollment
is contemplated, can demonstrate both physical presence in the state combined with evidence of intent to remain in California
indefinitely may establish California residency for tuition purposes. A minor normally derives residency from the parent(s)
they reside with or most recently resided with.
Evidence demonstrating intent may vary from case to case but will include, and is not limited to, the absence of residential ties
to any other state, California voter registration and voting in California elections, maintaining California vehicle registration
and driver's license, maintaining active California bank accounts, filing California income tax returns and listing a California
address on federal tax returns, owning residential property or occupying or renting an apartment where permanent belongings
are kept, maintaining active memberships in California professional or social organizations, and maintaining a permanent
military address and home of record in California.
Nonresident students seeking reclassification are required to complete a supplemental questionnaire that includes questions
concerning their financial independence. Financial independence is required, along with physical presence and intent, to be
eligible for reclassification. Financial independence is established if in the calendar year the reclassification application is
made and in any of the three calendar years preceding the reclassification application the student:
• has not and will not be claimed as an exemption for state and federal tax purposes by his/her parent;
• has not and will not receive more than seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750) per year in financial assistance from his/her
parent; and
