There are 23 CSU schools and you can choose to apply to as many as you want. Be aware though that each school you apply to requires its own $70 application fee. If you have a fee waiver, you can apply to up to four schools for free.
What are the requirements to apply?
Admissions offices use 3 factors to determine eligibility. Find out what they are here.
What is going on with SAT and ACT testing?
The California State University understands the challenges that students are facing in their current high school courses due to COVID-19. In response, the CSU has temporarily suspended the SAT or ACT test requirements only for students applying for admission in fall 2022 as freshman. This means that SAT and ACT scores will not be used for determining who gets admitted into the CSU.
Do I need to write an essay and get letters of recommendation?
Good news! CSU's do NOT require an essay or letters of rec. However, it is important to understand that certain programs and majors may require such things as part of a supplemental application. Be sure that when you select your major, you check to see if there are additional requirements.
