California State University-Fresno Admissions
Fresno State (California State University, Fresno) utilizes the same eligibility index as other universities in the California State university system. The index uses a combination of high school grade point average and standardized test scores to determine an applicant’s preparedness for the university environment. Grade point average, for the purposes of the index, is based on grades received during the final three years of high school. Applicants can determine their own index in one of two ways: multiply the high school grade point average by 800 and add a total score from the SAT, or multiply the high school grade point average by 200 and add ten times the total score from the ACT. Out-of-state students must have a 3502 using the SAT or 842 using the ACT, while California residents must have a 2900 (SAT) or a 694 (ACT). Fresno State requires applicants to have completed four years of English, three years of mathematics, and two years each of social science, lab science, and foreign language. Most first-time freshmen applicants qualify for admission if they have a high school diploma or GED, meet the eligibility index requirements, and score a C or better on the required coursework.
Fresno State University accepts applications until enrollment capacity is reached. The initial filing period for the fall semester runs from October 1 to November 30 of the prior year. The application fee is $55. Applications can be submitted on-line. Students who are enrolled in high school at the time of application will need to have their official final high school transcripts sent after graduation to the Admissions Office.
As part of their application, students should submit high school transcripts and ACT or SAT test scores. Students should have completed high school courses with a grade of C or better as follows: 4 units of English, 3 units of mathematics, 2 units of history and social studies, 2 units of science, 2 units of a foreign language, 1 year of a visual or performing art, and 1 year of an elective. Student admissions will be determined by a combination of test scores and grade point average.
Transfer students and international students will have varying requirements depending upon their prior educational background.
