International Admissions
Definition of an International Student
You are an international student if you are or will be studying at a U.S. institution on a non-immigrant visa. Most international students admitted to California State University, Fresno, obtain F-1 or J-1 visas. However, it is possible to enter on other nonimmigrant visas. If you need clarification of your status, please contact our office at intladm@listserv.csufresno.edu or (559) 278-2409.
(1) Conditional admission is available to academically eligible students who have not yet completed the TOEFL or IELTS requirement. Please be advised that Graduate students seeking admission must also complete the GRE, GMAT, or the MAT as required by the major program prior to seeking conditional admission. Students offered conditional admission can attend an Intensive English Program such as the American English Institute (AEI) located on the CSU Fresno campus. Upon satisfying the minimum CSU Fresno TOEFL or IELTS requirement, one may begin academic study the following semester.
(2) Students who are transferring from a California Community College should refer to www.assist.org. Out-of-state transfers or students transferring from another 4-year university within California should email intladm@listserv.csufresno.edu to inquire whether a course you have taken fulfills the A2 requirement.
