CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITIES (CSU) ARE CHANGING THEIR POLICIES

Today. The Board of Trustees of the California State University announced that there will be a change in admissions in the system.   First and foremost, there is a FREEZE on college transfers at this time.   As of 2013,  students who choose to transfer to a Cal State Campus will find transferring will be a little more difficult, particularly at the Northridge, Long Beach and Dominguez Hills campuses.


No longer will college transfers be allowed to transfer mid term.  Additionally, the Board says that college transfers will only be allow to transfer if they have an AA degree.


What does this mean for students?  A lot.


Most students want to get into and out of college.  There is no better time that in that 18-23 year old period of transition.  However, this change means that students must be very focus if they choose to attend a CSU campus.  It may take a student longer to get through college, and students should consider looking at a 5-6 years.    




If you are looking to go to a CSU school, see the school map below showing where the campuses are located and contact the admissions office to get your questions answered.

If you are looking to go these colleges or have other questions, talk to your  school counselor.  If you feel uncomfortable with that idea,  look to a college admissions consultant who can help you through the process.  They have a little more time than a high school counselor and can work with you from the point of where you are.



We offer a FREE 1/2 hour consultation about how we can help you through the process. Consultants can help students through the "FEAR" of college applications.
