THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY Graduate Application 3

5 Graduate and Postbaccalaureate Admission Using is a faster, easier way to apply to the CSU. Admission Requirements Graduate and postbaccalaureate applicants may apply for a master s or joint doctoral degree objective, a credential or certificate objective, or may have no program objective. Depending on the objective, the CSU will consider an application for admission as follows: General Requirements The minimum requirements for admission to graduate and postbaccalaureate studies at a California State University campus are in accordance with university regulations as well as Title 5, chapter 1, subchapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations. Specifically, you will qualify for admission if you: (1) have completed a four-year college course of study and hold an acceptable baccalaureate degree from an institution accredited by a regional accrediting association or shall have completed equivalent academic preparation as determined by appropriate campus authorities; (2) are in good academic standing at the last college or university attended; (3) have attained a grade point average of at least 2.5 (A = 4.0) in the last 60 semester (90 quarter) units attempted; and (4) satisfactorily meet the professional, personal, scholastic, and other standards for graduate study, including qualifying examinations, as appropriate campus authorities may prescribe. In unusual circumstances, a campus may make exceptions to these criteria. Second baccalaureate candidates use the undergraduate CSU application. Second baccalaureate candidates must meet general postbaccalaureate requirements. If you meet the minimum requirements for graduate and postbaccalaureate studies, you will be considered for admission in one of the following four categories: Postbaccalaureate Unclassified To enroll in courses for professional or personal growth, you must be admitted as a postbaccalaureate unclassified student. By meeting the general requirements, you are eligible for admission as a postbaccalaureate unclassified student. Some departments may restrict enrollment of unclassified students due to heavy enrollment pressure. Admission in this status does not constitute admission to or assurance of consideration for admission to any other graduate degree or credential program. Postbaccalaureate Classified If you wish to enroll in a credential or certificate program, you will be required to satisfy additional professional, personal, scholastic, and other standards, including qualifying examinations, prescribed by the campus. Graduate Conditionally Classified You may be admitted to a graduate degree program in this category if, in the opinion of appropriate campus authority, you can remedy deficiencies by additional preparation. Graduate Classified To pursue a graduate degree, you will be required to fulfill all of the professional, personal, scholastic, and other standards, including qualifying examinations, prescribed by the campus. Program Limitations Some graduate programs are able to admit all qualified applicants (those with a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university or college and a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in the last 60 semester or 90 quarter units attempted) who apply during the filing period. Other specific programs have established higher standards for admission. A few high-demand programs are unable to admit all students who apply and meet the established minimum qualifications. Generally, your chances of being accommodated will be better the earlier you apply in the filing period. Inquire with the campus about possible limitations on enrollment in second bachelor s programs. Choice of Campus You may file an application with any CSU campus. To be considered by more than one campus, you must submit an application and fee to each campus. Selection of Degree or Credential Objective Majors and credential programs offered by the CSU campuses are listed in the back of this booklet. Because the contents of similarly named programs may differ from campus to campus, you should consult the appropriate campus catalog before filing an application. Transcripts and Supplementary Materials Most campuses require applicants to file two official transcripts in sealed envelopes from each college or university previously attended. You should arrange to have those official transcripts sent at the same time you submit your application (see page 3 for the appropriate address). Since some departments require additional forms or information, applicants should consult the appropriate catalog and/or major department offering the program to determine the documents and other information needed. Immunization All new and readmitted students born after January 1, 1957, must provide proof of full immunization against measles and rubella prior to enrollment. This is not an admission requirement, but it is required of students prior to enrollment in the CSU. Graduate Student Support Various forms of financial support, such as graduate, teaching, and research assistantships, are available to graduate students. In addition, some departments offer special scholarships and traineeships. More information is available from your major department. Other forms of financial aid programs for graduate students are described on page 5. International Student Admission Requirements The CSU uses separate requirements and application filing dates in the admission of international students. Some campuses require completion of a supplemental international student application. For this purpose, international students include those who hold U.S. visas as students, exchange visitors, or other nonimmigrant classifications. Verification of English proficiency (see paragraph on TOEFL ), financial resources, and academic performance are all important considerations. Academic records from foreign institutions must be on file at least eight weeks before registration for the first term and, if not written in English, must be accompanied by certified English translations. TOEFL Requirement All graduate and postbaccalaureate applicants whose native language is not English and whose preparatory education was primarily in a language other than English must demonstrate competence in English. Those who do not possess a bachelor s degree from a postsecondary institution where English is the principal language of instruction must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The TOEFL exam may be taken via a paper or computer exam. A minimum score of 550 on the paper exam or 213 on the computerbased TOEFL is required. Some CSU campuses or particular majors require higher score results than these minimum scores. Please check with the CSU campus in which you are interested for the required scores. Application Filing Dates You are urged to apply as early as possible. If applying after the initial filing period, consult the campus Admission Office or website for current information.

6 Graduate Financial Aid Information The California State University provides financial assistance in the form of grants, scholarships, fellowships, loans, and part-time employment for students who meet financial aid program eligibility requirements.* If you believe you will not be able to pay for all of your educational costs, you are encouraged to apply for financial aid. How to Apply for Financial Aid To be considered for financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available beginning in December of each year and should be completed and mailed to the processing service listed on the form as soon as possible after January 1 and before the CSU priority filing date of March 2, All campuses will continue to accept applications after the priority filing date and will make awards as long as funds are available. If you meet the March 2 priority filing date, you improve your chances of receiving aid from all the programs for which you are eligible. You can obtain a copy of the FAFSA at your local college financial aid office or public library. If you cannot obtain a FAFSA in this manner, you may request one, after December 15, 2003, by writing to the financial aid office of the CSU campus to which you are applying for admission. Electronic versions of the FAFSA and other student aid publications are available at the U.S. Department of Education s website, The FAFSA can be accessed through Financial aid funds cannot be transferred from one CSU campus to another. Therefore, if you change your choice of CSU campuses, you must notify the FAFSA processing service of the name of your alternative campus if you did not originally include it on your FAFSA. You may do this by writing the alternative campus name on the Student Aid Report (SAR) and returning it to the address printed on the SAR. Selective Service Registration The federal Military Selective Service Act (the Act ) requires most males residing in the United States to present themselves for registration with the Selective Service System within 30 days of their eighteenth birthday. Most males between the ages of 18 and 25 must be registered. Males born after December 31, 1959, may be required to submit a statement of compliance with the Act and regulations in order to receive any grant, loan, or work assistance under specified provisions of existing federal law. In California, students subject to the Act who fail to register are also ineligible to receive any need-based student grants funded by the state or a public postsecondary institution. Selective Service registration forms are available at any U.S. Post Office. Applicants for financial aid can also request that information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) be used to register them with the Selective Service. Information on the Selective Service System is available, and the registration process may be initiated online at Financial Aid Programs Students eligible for financial aid typically receive a package of aid from two or more of the programs described below: Federal Pell Grant Students admitted to a postbaccalaureate teacher preparation program and enrolled in courses required to receive a teaching credential or certification may be eligible to receive Federal Pell Grants provided they meet eligibility requirements. Graduate students are not eligible to receive Federal Pell Grant funds. Cal Grants Cal Grant A and B recipients accepted into a teaching credential program may be eligible to receive state-funded Cal Grant fifth-year benefits. California residents entering teaching credential programs should also apply for a Cal Grant T award by completing the FAFSA and filing an enrollment and grade point average verification form with the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). Current Cal Grant recipients and students planning to enter credential programs should contact the California Student Aid Commission or the campus financial aid office for additional information and the required forms. *CSU financial aid awards are contingent upon continued funding from federal and state government programs. International students who are in the United States on F-1 or F-2 student visas and students who are not citizens or eligible noncitizens are not eligible to receive federal or state-funded financial aid and should not apply. State University Grants These awards are available to California residents and may be limited to the amount of fees paid. Graduate Equity Fellowships These state-funded awards assist students with demonstrated financial need who are admitted to graduate degree programs. Eligible students are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Additional information is available from campus financial aid offices. Fellowships and Scholarships Fellowships and scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit and financial need, in addition to other criteria as specified by the donors of each fund. The number and types of awards available, as well as the application procedures, vary from campus to campus. Interested students should contact the campus financial aid or scholarship office to obtain application forms and additional information. Federal Work-Study Program Work-study jobs enable eligible students to earn money to help pay for their educational expenses through part-time and summer employment on campus or with an approved off-campus agency. The program is jointly funded by the federal government and the employer. Federal Student Loans Various long-term, low-interest student loans are available to eligible applicants. Student loans must be repaid with interest. Federal Perkins Loans and Nursing Student Loans may be included in the financial aid package. The amount of the loan will vary according to the total amount of financial aid a student is eligible to receive. Students whose total financial aid eligibility is not met by a package of aid from the above-listed programs may also be eligible to receive a Federal William D. Ford Direct Student Loan or a Federal Stafford Loan. These loans are subsidized if the student has financial need, meaning the federal government pays interest on the loan until the borrower begins repayment, or unsubsidized, meaning the borrower will be charged interest on the loan from the time it is disbursed until it is paid in full. Additional information on these loan programs is available from the campus financial aid office. Assumption Program of Loans for Education (APLE) The APLE program administered by the California Student Aid Commission provides a maximum of $19,000 in loan-assumption benefits to students enrolled in approved teacher preparation programs. In order to receive the maximum benefits, applicants must agree to teach full time for four consecutive years in an eligible California K-12 public school. Contact the teacher preparation program at the campus for additional information and an application. Graduate Assumption Program of Loans for Education (Grad APLE) The Grad APLE program administered by the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) provides loan assumption benefits to students enrolled in graduate degree programs who plan to teach at an accredited California college or university. Applications are available from CSAC or campus financial aid offices. Other Additional opportunities for assistance are often available at the program level. These include teaching and research assistantships, small scholarships, and part-time employment funded by faculty research or training grants. Interested students should address inquiries about such opportunities directly to the chair or director of the program in which they wish to enroll. Lifetime Learning Tax Credit If you are enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program or are taking courses to acquire or improve job skills, you may qualify for a Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. The Lifetime Learning Tax Credit is available to students at all educational and enrollment levels who are enrolled at an eligible educational institution. The tax credits are based on the amount of qualified tuition and fees, less grants and other tax-free educational assistance, and the taxpayer s modified adjusted gross income. Consult IRS Publication 970 or your tax preparer for additional information. 5 THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY Graduate Application

7 Residence Classification Residence Classification Information Under California law, campuses must determine the residence status of all new and returning students. Nonresidents are required to pay nonresident tuition and meet other conditions, unless an exception applies. Generally, to be eligible for California resident classification, an adult applicant must have established and maintained permanent residence in California at least one year prior to the applicable residence determination date.

Residence determination dates for each academic term are: Residence Determination Dates Quarter Calendars Semester Calendars Fall: September 20 Fall: September 20 Winter: January 5 Winter: January 5 (Stanislaus only) Spring: April 1 Spring: January 25 Summer: July 1 Summer: June 1 Proof of residence requires evidence of both physical presence and intent to remain indefinitely in California at least one year before the residence determination date. In addition, other rules and exceptions apply. Failure to provide requested information or complete all residence questions may result in a nonresident classification or denial of admission. In-state tuition is available for certain nonresident students who have attended high school in California for at least three full years and have graduated from a California high school or received the equivalent. Students without lawful immigration status also must file an affidavit with a CSU campus stating that they have filed an application with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to legalize their immigration status or that they will do so as soon as they are eligible to do so. Students applying for the exemption should request from the campus Admission Office the California Nonresident Tuition Exemption Request form, complete the document, and show proof of attendance and graduation from a California high school.
