( The federal government standardizes the exact calculations used to determine the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). This means that your contribution would be assessed in the same way no matter what school you attended. Actual awards can vary by school because of the differences in cost. The methodology used can be explained with the following calculation: College Costs (Fees & Other Educational Expenses) MINUS Expected Family Contribution (from the FAFSA) EQUALS Your Financial Need If you or your family has unusual circumstances (such as loss of employment) that might affect your need for financial aid, submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) through the normal process.

9 Cal State Northridge Freshman Impaction at CSU, Northridge Summary California State University, Northridge will admit all CSU-eligible first-time freshman applicants who graduate from high schools in its local guarantee admissions area. First-time freshman applicants graduating from California high schools outside the local area will be admitted by achieving the higher CSU eligibility index. Details Tier 1 - California State University, Northridge (CSUN) will admit all first-time freshman applicants who graduate from high schools in the California State University Northridge-defined local guarantee admissions area and who are eligible according to the standard California State University criteria. Tier 2 - First-time freshman applicants graduating from California high schools outside the local area who achieve the higher California State University (CSU) eligibility index will be admitted first among the pool of Tier 2 applicants. Frequently Asked Questions What is freshman impaction? In order to manage enrollment within current budget constraints while preserving the highest quality academic experience and services to students, the California State University (CSU) system has declared "system wide impaction" (see CSU Declares Systemwide Impaction). Impaction requires each of the 23 CSU campuses to give priority admission consideration to first-time freshman applicants who graduate from high schools located within a closely-defined geographic area. In response to this requirement, CSU, Northridge has recently defined its Local Guarantee Admissions Area, or Tier 1 school districts, as described in question 3. Who is affected by freshman impaction? Only first-time freshman applicants graduating from a California high school outside CSUN's Local Guarantee Admissions Area are affected by impaction. Beginning with the Fall 2009 semester, these applicants will be considered for admission if they meet additional Tier 2 admission requirements. All other CSUN applicants must meet the standard CSU admissions criteria for their class level and academic program. For details, select the "I Want to Apply" link for your student group on the Admissions and Records home page. How has CSUN defined its local admission area? CSUN's Tier 1 Local Guarantee Admissions Area includes public and private high schools in the following Los Angeles County and Ventura County districts: 6

First-time freshman applicants who graduate from high schools that are inside CSUN s Local Guarantee Admissions Area are Tier 1 applicants. They are eligible for admission if they meet the California State University standard admission criteria described at I Want to Apply. Who is a Tier 2 applicant? First-time freshman applicants who graduate from a California high school outside CSUN s Local Guarantee Admissions Area are Tier 2 applicants. To be considered for admission, Tier 2 applicants must meet the additional admissions requirement of achieving the higher CSU statewide eligibility index. What is the CSU eligibility index? The CSU statewide eligibility index is a combination of your high school grade point average (GPA) and scores on either the ACT or the SAT. GPAs are based on grades earned in college preparatory courses ("a-g" subject requirements) taken during the final three years of high school. Included in calculating GPA are any bonus points earned for approved honors courses. 8

12 Cal State Northridge Freshman Impaction at CSU, Northridge (continued) To calculate your eligibility index (EI), multiply your GPA by 800 and add your total score on the SAT mathematics and critical reading scores. If you took the ACT, multiply your GPA by 200 and add ten times the ACT composite score (do not include the writing score). In other words: EI using SAT I Scores = (GPA) x SAT I Total EI using ACT Scores = (GPA) x (10 x ACT composite score) What are the first-time freshman admission requirements? Please review the admission requirements for all first-time freshmen at I Want to Apply. When is the admissions application deadline? Please see the Admissions Calendar. Even when an admissions cycle is closed, some majors may still be accepting students. Open programs are listed as exceptions in the Admissions Calendar. I ve already applied. What do I do next? If you ve already applied to CSUN and will graduate from a Tier 2 school district, you will receive an admissions notice late January In the meantime, work to improve your SAT or ACT test scores.
