CSUS freshmen application deadline is Feb. 1

Because of unprecedented demand for admission, California State University, Sacramento has established Feb. 1, 2003 as the freshman application deadline for fall 2003. The CSU system historically has had a Nov. 30 deadline, but campuses have been able to extend that as space was available.

The Feb. 1 deadline also applies to new students seeking a second bachelor's degree and unclassified graduate students. On Jan. 6, CSUS stopped accepting applications from lower division transfer students, those with fewer than 56 transferable semester units.

Applicants who miss these deadlines may apply for the spring 2004 semester during the priority filing period of Aug. 1-30.

Applications for fall 2003 are still being considered for upper division transfer students (those with 56 or more transferable semester units), graduate students seeking admission to master's degree programs and teacher credential applicants. These students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible because the University anticipates the filing cutoff will be earlier than last year.

Admission information is available at www.csumentor.edu. Additional information is available at (916) 278-7362. Media assistance is available by contacting CSUS public affairs at (916) 278-6156.
