2010-2011 Undergraduate Application
International Student Admission Requirements

The CSU uses separate requirements and application filing dates in the admission of international students. For this purpose, "international students" include those who hold U.S. visas as students, exchange visitors, or other nonimmigrant classifications. Verification of English proficiency, financial resources, and academic performance are all important considerations. Official academic records from foreign institutions must be on file at least eight weeks before registration for the first term and, if not written in English, must be accompanied by certified English translations. Priority for admission is given to California residents.
