Selection Process
 CSUF is impacted at the FTF and UDT levels across all majors. For Fall 2013, it is
expected that ALL applicants will need to surpass minimum CSU eligibility.
 The CSUF admissions process is deadline driven. Missed admissions deadlines may
lead to a cancelled application or rescinded admission. This includes but is not
limited to the ELM and EPT placement exams (if required)
 Prospective Division I athletes (men’s and women’s basketball, cross country, golf,
soccer, and track and field; men’s baseball; women’s softball, tennis, and volleyball)
are encouraged to register for a CBS College Sports Interactive account at
www.fullertontitans.com. In addition, women’s dance team tryouts are held each fall
 In order to be accepted as a music major, students must be admitted to the University
AND must also successfully audition for the music department.

they pass their juries.

Admission Appeals
•
At Cal State Fullerton our process is
deadline-driven and we hold applicants
to our stated deadlines. If a student
was not offered admission, or if their
application was withdrawn because of
a missed deadline, it is unlikely that our
decision will be reversed on appeal.
However, if a student has significant
extenuating circumstances and wishes
to appeal our decision, they can
download information on our process
at
http://www.fullerton.edu/admissions/appeals/
Counselor “Must Know”
 Cal State Fullerton communicates with prospective
(and current) students through their student portal.
Information about accessing the portal can be found
at
http://www.fullerton.edu/admissions/Resources/forms/Student_P
ortal_First_Time_Login.pdf.
 All admissions appeals must be received by CSUF
within one month of the date on the "missed
deadline" or "deny" notification / communication
from the Office of Admissions.
 Students appealing a residency decision should
contact the Residence Specialist at (657) 278-2396 or
residency@fullerton.edu.
 Responses to appeals will be provided to student
within 3-4 weeks of submission, by electronic
communication only. It is the student’s responsibility
to watch their portal.
