California State University, Fresno will begin accepting applications Aug. 1 for admission of returning students, upper division transfer students, graduate and postbaccalaureate students for the spring 2012 semester.
The application deadline is Aug. 31.
However, the university is closed to applications for spring 2012 to first-time freshmen, lower-division transfer students, second baccalaureate (except nursing) and postbaccalaureate unclassified students.
The spring 2012 admission cycle is based upon anticipated funding to accommodate enrollment growth for 2011-12. Therefore, admission of students will be made on a space-available basis, said Vivian Franco, director of Admissions, Records and Evaluations at Fresno State.
The university is impacted at the transfer level and will implement supplementary screening criteria for admission.
Based on space availability, upper-division transfer applicants from the following community colleges will be accommodated first: College of the Sequoias, Fresno City College, Merced Community College, Modesto Community College, Reedley College, West Hills Community College and West Hills College-Lemoore.
Transfer applicants from other colleges or universities will be considered on a space available basis if they have a minimum 2.70 GPA.
