Transfer students deadline set for fall 2003

Because of unprecedented demand for admission by upper division transfer students, California State University, Sacramento has established April 15 as the application deadline for the fall 2003 term.

As of March 1, 2003, the University had received nearly 50 percent more applications than last year at this time. The University is committed to providing a quality education and this deadline will enable it to meet that commitment to the transfer class.

The University stopped accepting applications from lower division transfer students on Jan. 6 and first-time freshmen, second bachelor’s degree and unclassified graduate applicants on Feb.1.

Applicants who miss these deadlines are encouraged to apply for the spring 2004 semester during the priority filing period of Aug. 1-31.

Applications for fall 2003 are still being considered for students seeking admission to master’s degree programs and teacher credential programs. These students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible because the University filing deadlines are expected to 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.
