What are the basic freshman admissions requirements?
The CSU uses a combination of your high school grade point average and your score on either the SAT or the ACT. Your GPA and test score are added together to compute an Eligibility Index. The requirements for an out-of-state nonresident student are higher than the requirements for California residents. A chart showing the California resident Eligibility Index and nonresident Eligibility Index is available for your reference. Remember, the indices in these tables are the minimum scores. Higher GPA and test scores may be required for admission to high-demand majors and campuses. Information on the Eligibility Index is available here.
