Admission Requirements
Transfer to a California State University (CSU):
- Admission requirements for students who have completed fewer than 60 transferable units at the time of entry to the CSU:
- have a college grade point average of 2.0 or better in all transferable college units attempted;
- be in good standing at the last college or university attended (eligible to re-enroll);
- meet the admission requirements as a first-time freshman or successfully complete necessary courses to make up the deficiencies;
- meet the eligibility index required of freshman: students may need SAT or ACT test scores, depending on grade point average and the requirements for the intended campus;
- contact the planned campus to determine whether there are limits on admission as a lower division transfer. Some campuses may require completion of English composition and general education mathematics.
- Admission requirements for students who have completed 60 or more transferable units at the time of entry to the CSU:
- have a college grade point average of 2.0 or better in all transferable college units attempted;
- be in good standing at the last college or university attended (eligible to re-enroll);
- complete 30 semester units of courses equivalent to general education requirements with a grade of C or better. The 30 units must include all of the general education requirements in communication in the English language (English composition, oral communication, and critical thinking) and at least one course in college level mathematics.
- Lower-Division Transfer Patterns (LDTP)
The Lower-Division Transfer Pattern (LDTP) project, sponsored by the California State University (CSU) and supported by the California Community Colleges, presents potential transfer students with the most direct path to a bachelor's degree in the CSU system. The LDTP project provides a set of "road maps" for students to follow that will ensure appropriate academic preparation and decrease time to graduation once LDTP students enter the CSU. Students may enter into an LDTP agreement up to the time they have completed 45 transferable units. Students who elect to follow the LDTP option will receive the highest priority for admissions to a CSU campus.
"Highest priority for admission" is defined as a written guarantee of admission to a particular CSU campus and major, and it goes into effect when both the student and the CSU campus ratify an LDTP agreement. The guarantee is subject both to satisfactory completion of the agreement requirements and to the campus's ability to accommodate the student. Students will be asked to complete successfully a specified set of general education courses and major courses that will be common to all CSU campuses offering that major. Students will be asked to complete successfully an additional set of courses identified by the particular CSU campus named in the LDTP agreement. The coursework in the system-wide and campus-specific LDTP pattern will total at least 60 units, the number needed to transfer to CSU as an upper-division student. Through CSU Mentor,(www.csumentor.edu), and ASSIST,(www.assist.org), students and counselors will be able to find road maps detailing coursework preparation by CSU campus and major. Consulting with a college counselor for additional questions to transfer to CSU.
