Welcome to California State University, Sacramento!

We are excited to have you back, and for you to continue your education with us. This checklist will help you navigate the steps toward a successful return to Sacramento State.

  • Set up your SacLink account www.saclink.csus.edu if you have not already done so. This will allow you to access your My Sac State account. You will use this personal portal to stay current with all campus information, to access a personalized To Do List, to check on and manage payments and financial aid, and to find and register for classes.
  • If you intend to major in one of our Designated Impacted Programs, please check with that program for supplemental criteria, application instructions and important deadlines.
  • Confirm your Intent to Enroll (ITE). You will need to let us know if you are planning to attend Sacramento State for Fall 2012 by May 1, 2013.  Go to www.csus.edu/admissions/ite . NOTE: This is a critical deadline! Failure to complete the ITE by the deadline will result in withdrawal of your application from consideration.
  • Go to your My Sac State to Accept/Decline Financial Aid awards.  For more information on financial aid awards go to www.csus.edu/faid.
  • Submit your online housing application which will be available March 11, 2013.  For more information on housing and application instructions go to www.csus.edu/housing.
