CSU System Admissions Information

Important information for students planning on attending a California State University System school. This applies to anyone, not just seniors as it will ensure you are on the right path to getting into a CSU school.

• Undergraduate programs at many CSU are impacted. If you are an 2012 CSU freshman, this means that applicants will be ranked based on GPA in the approved college prep coursework (A-G requirements) and SAT/ACT scores. Official scores will be due no later than December 22, 2011.

Be aware of the classes you take and the grades you earn. Colleges will have to withdraw admission offers to students who upon review of their final transcripts, do not meet CUS minimum requirements. It is important to review your high school transcript so that you can make sure you are on track.

"D" grades are NOT acceptable for college admission, only for high school graduation. Don't make the mistake of thinking that it will not interfere with your college eligibility. It will.

Here is how the process works:

Students are provisionally admitted in the winter based on a combination of self-reported GPA and official SAT?ACT scores. If a student has a D or an F in an A-G requirement prior to their senior  year, that student may be provisionally admitted on the premise that they have until the end of their senior year to make up any missing coursework. This will not be able to be determined by the college until they receive the final, official transcript in mid-July. If the requirements are not met, you will be notified in July or August that you are no longer eligible to enroll in the fall. Summer coursework will not be accepted. D and F grades MUST be made up in the spring term of your senior year.

To get a copy of your transcript,  go into room M103 (Registration and Records) and put in a request to have it printed. You can also come in and fill out a slip to see a counselor to talk over your concerns.
