Freshman Admission Requirements for California Residents

It is easy to understand the California State University admission requirements for California residents.

Admission offices at the 23 campuses use three factors to determine eligibility.

Most applicants who are admitted meet the standards in each of the following areas:

  • Specific high school courses (referred to as the "a-g" courses)

  • Grades in "a-g" courses and test scores

  • Graduation from high school

 

Many CSU campuses have higher standards for particular majors or for students who live outside the local admission area. Because of the number of students who apply, several campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants.

 

Many CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and community colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region
