An applicant with a grade point average of 3.00 or above (3.61 for nonresidents) is not required to submit test scores.
However, all applicants for admission are urged to take the SAT or ACT and provide the scores of such tests to each CSU to
which they seek admission. Campuses use these test results for advising and placement purposes and may require them for
admission to impacted majors or programs. Impacted CSU campuses require SAT or ACT scores of all applicants for freshman
admission.
Honors Courses. Up to eight semesters of honors courses taken in the last two years of high school, including up to two
approved courses taken in the tenth grade, can be accepted. Each unit of A in an honors course will receive a total of 5 points;
B, 4 points; and C, 3 points.
Subject Requirements. The California State University requires that first-time freshman applicants complete, with grades of
C or better, a comprehensive pattern of college preparatory study totaling 15 units. A "unit" is one year of study in high school.
• 2 years of social science, including one year of U.S. history or U.S. history and government
• 4 years of English
• 3 years of math (algebra, geometry, and intermediate algebra)
• 2 years of laboratory science (1 biological and 1 physica; lboth must have laboratory instruction)
• 2 years in the same foreign language (subject to waiver for applicants demonstrating equivalent competence)
• 1 year of visual and performing arts (art, dance, drama/theater, or music)
• 1 year of electives: selected from English, advanced mathematics, social science, history, laboratory science, foreign
language, visual and performing arts, or other courses approved and included on the UC/CSU "a-g" list.
Foreign Language Subject Requirement. The foreign language subject requirement may be satisfied by applicants who
demonstrate competence in a language other than English, equivalent to or higher than expected of students who complete two
years of foreign language study. Consult with your school counselor or any CSU campus Admissions and Records Office or
Relations with Schools offices for further information.
Subject Requirement Substitution for Students with Disabilities. Applicants with disabilities are encouraged to complete
college preparatory course requirements if at all possible. If an applicant is judged unable to fulfill a specific course
requirement because of his or her disability, alternate college preparatory courses may be substituted for specific subject
requirements.
Substitutions may be authorized on an individual basis after review and recommendation by your academic adviser or
guidance counselor in consultation with the coordinator of a CSU Services for Students with Disabilities office. Although the
distribution may be slightly different from the course pattern required of other students, students qualifying for substitutions
will still be held responsible for 15 units of college preparatory study.
Students should be aware that failure to complete courses required for admission may limit later enrollment in certain majors,
particularly those involving mathematics. For further information and substitution forms, contact the coordinator of disabled
student services at your nearest CSU campus.
High School Students. High school students may be considered for enrollment in certain special programs if recommended
by the principal and the appropriate campus department chair and if preparation is equivalent to that required of eligible
California high school graduates. Such admission is only for a given specific program and does not constitute a right to
continued enrollment. Contact our Admissions and Records Office.
Transfer Policies of CSU campuses. Most commonly, college level credits earned from an institution of higher education
accredited by a regional accrediting agency are accepted for transfer to campuses of the CSU; however, authority for decisions
regarding the transfer of undergraduate credits is delegated to each CSU campus.
California Community Colleges and other authorized certifying institutions can certify up to 39 semester (58.5 quarter) units of
General Education-Breadth (GE-Breadth) or 37 semester (55.5 quarter) units of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer
Curriculum (IGETC) for transfer students to fulfill lower-division general education requirements for any CSU campus prior
to transfer.
"Certification" is the official notification from a California Community College or authorized institution that a transfer student
has completed courses fulfilling lower-division general education requirements. The CSU GE-Breadth and the Intersegmental
General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) certification course lists for particular community colleges can be accessed
at www.assist.org.
CSU campuses may enter into course-to-course or program-to-program articulation agreements with other CSU campuses and
any or all of the California Community Colleges, and other regionally accredited institutions. Established CSU and California
Community College articulations may be found on www.assist.org. Students may be permitted to transfer no more than 70
semester (105 quarter) units to a CSU campus from an institution that does not offer bachelor's degrees or their equivalents, for
