What are the minimum admission requirements for freshmen?
Generally, first-time freshman applicants will qualify for regular admission if they meet the following requirements: • have graduated from high school, have earned a Certificate of General Education Development (GED) or have passed the California High School Proficiency Examination; and • have a qualifiable minimum eligibility index (see the Eligibility Index Table in this section); and • have completed, with grades of “C” or better, each of the courses in the comprehensive pattern of college preparatory subject requirements, also known as the “a-g” pattern. (See “Subject Requirements” later in this section.) Courses must be completed prior to your enrollment in The California State University (special high school programs are exempted from this rule).
