What are the admission requirements?It’s important to note that Cal State Fullerton strictly enforces

stated application deadlines throughout the admissions process.

Students who miss a stated deadline may have their application

cancelled or their admission rescinded.

To meet minimum eligibility for admission to the California State

University, you must meet all of the following requirements*:

n 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter units); a maximum

of 70 transferable semester (105 quarter) units from a community

college may be used toward completion of a degree.

n A minimum of 30 semester units (45 quarter units) in CSU-

approved general education coursework with grades of C or

better. The 30 units must include the “Golden Four” requirements

with grades of C or better OR the Intersegmental General Education

Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). The “Golden Four” requirements are:

Oral Communication

Written Communication

Critical Thinking

Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning

n California residents must have a minimum cumulative grade point

average (GPA) of 2.0 (C) or better in all transferable units attempted.

Outside of the local admissions area, which includes all Orange

County community colleges, the GPA requirement will be higher.

Since we are an impacted campus, even applicants from the

local admissions area will be required to meet a higher GPA

requirement than the minimum 2.0 requirement. To ensure a fair

process for all applicants, the GPA requirement will not be determined

until after the initial filing period is over. It will be based on the number

of applications received, the competitiveness of the pool, and the

number of seats available.

n Good academic standing at the last college or university attended.

*Because Cal State Fullerton is an impacted campus across all majors,

the GPA of admitted students exceeds the CSU minimum.

WELCOME.Getting ready to transfer to Cal State Fullerton? You’ve made an excellent choice, one that will enhance

your ability to compete and succeed beyond college. At Cal State Fullerton, you can take advantage of

an exceptional learning environment and a full range of opportunities to gain the preparation you need

and an edge for what’s next, whether it’s attending grad school or launching your career. Applying to

Cal State Fullerton is a competitive process, so it’s important to be well-prepared academically and

begin planning early to ensure a smooth transition.

What do I need to know about impaction?Cal State Fullerton is an impacted campus at the transfer level, which means that there are

more applications for our campus than we can accommodate. In order to ensure that capacity is

not exceeded and that we can provide a high-quality education to those we admit, we need to

apply more rigorous standards to the transfer applicant pool. This means that all transfer

applicants, whether in our local admissions area or outside the local admissions area,

must anticipate meeting higher levels of competition than required by minimum CSU eligibility.

In fact, local area students are not guaranteed admission if they only meet minimum eligibility.

How can I get involved on campus?Cal State Fullerton offers a rich and rewarding college experience –

there’s something for everyone – and you choose how to make the

most of it. More than 200 clubs and organizations offer programs and

new skills, taking on leadership roles or volunteering for service

projects, then student government, the Student Leadership Institute

and our Center for Internships and Community Engagement offer

more choices for involvement.
