Application Timeline
California State University, Fresno will accommodate fewer new students for Fall 2008 due to the $312.9 million cut to the California State University budget proposed by the Governor. Fresno State is expecting to admit up to 600 fewer students in Fall 2008 to ensure that continuing and new students have classes available to help them progress toward graduation. It is important that prospective students adhere to application deadlines.
Effective January 17, 2008 the university is no longer accepting applications from:
- Lower Division Transfers with fewer than 60 semester units, except for applicants to Nursing and Engineering
- Postbaccalaureate Applicants seeking a second BA/BS degree, except for applicants to Nursing and Engineering, and
- Postbaccalaureate Unclassified applicants
The university is still open to Upper-Division Transfers, Graduates and Credential applicants, and we continue to accept late applications from veterans who have recently returned from active duty.
Students must apply on-line through CSU Mentor. Questions regarding undergraduate application deadlines may be addressed to Admissions and Records at 559.278.2261. Graduates students refer to the Graduate Program Admissions Criteria for program and requirements before applying. Some programs only admit in the Fall semester and some submission deadlines are earlier than undergraduate admissions. Contact the Graduate Program Coordinator (pdf) to learn about additional application materials.
Or, do you mean, when will I find out I am admitted?
Fresno State uses the “rolling admissions” practice. Students submitting a complete undergraduate application and meet admissions requirements can expect notification within 30-days.
Graduate/Postbaccalaureate applicants receive an acknowledgement email and postcard verifying receipt of an application. Once all university application materials are received, and eligibility to the university is verified, your completed application packet is sent to the Graduate Program coordinator for review.
