California State University, Fresno is accepting applications for fall 2011 admission through Nov. 30 – the priority filing period for first-time freshmen and transfer students.

Fresno State is designated as an impacted campus for admission of new freshmen and upper-division transfers.

Incoming freshmen students from Fresno, Kings, Madera and Tulare Counties – Fresno State’s designated local area will be admitted if they meet minimum CSU admission requirements. Students from elsewhere will be ranked based on eligibility index (combination of high school GPA and test score) and admitted on a space-available basis.

Transfer applicants from the designated local area community colleges will be accommodated at Fresno State if they meet minimum CSU admission requirements. Included are students from College of the Sequoias, Fresno City College, Merced College, Modesto Junior College, Reedley College, West Hills Community College and West Hills College-Lemoore.

Transfer applicants from other colleges and universities will be considered on a space available basis if they have a minimum 2.70 GPA or higher in all transfer work.

Returning Fresno State students, will be accommodated on a space-available basis. Priority will be given to upper-division returnees who have completed General Education-Breadth requirements in English composition, oral communication, critical thinking and mathematics.

Other fall 2011 application tentative deadlines:

  • Returning students, Feb. 1, 2011
  • Credential applicants, April 1, 2011
  • Graduate and doctoral applicants, April 1, 2011
