When the number of applications received by a CSU campus from qualified applicants is greater than the number of available spaces, a campus is considered "impacted" for undergraduate degree programs or for undergraduate students who apply from outside the local admission area.

In this case, an impacted campus is allowed to use additional criteria to screen applications.

Campuses without the impaction designation at the program or campus level are open to all CSU eligible applicants.

Academic Program Impaction for 2020-21

All undergraduate programs, pre-programs, and undeclared/undecided programs are impacted for the following campuses:

To find out whether a program you're interested in is impacted, use the impaction database below to search by campus name and applicant level (freshman or transfer student).

"Campus impaction" or "level impaction" means that a campus has reached its enrollment capacity for instructional resources and physical support and cannot accommodate all the eligible undergraduate applications it receives.

In this case, the campus has established a local admission area for first-time freshmen and/or upper-division transfer students. This means that, in general, applications received from students from outside the designated local area will be held to higher admission requirements than those received from students inside the local area. To learn more about campus impaction, select the campus and applicant level below.

FIRST-TIME FRESHMEN (FTF)

For Fall 2021, it is important to review the following First-Time Freshman Guide (Coming Soon).

All first-time freshman applicants must apply during the initial admission application-filing period (October 1 through December 4 for fall) to be considered for admission. All subject matter requirements must be completed by high school graduation. Subject matter requirements must be met with a C or better and may not be completed during the summer term immediately preceding fall admission.

Information on A-G high school course validation see Validation of High School Coursework.

Impaction

Fullerton is an impacted campus for all first time freshmen. Impaction means that there are more applications for a campus than can be accommodated. In order to ensure that capacity is not exceeded, more rigorous standards are applied to the freshmen applicant pool. Impacted criteria may include local vs. out of local and major program impaction. This means that all freshmen applicants, whether in our local admissions area or outside of our local admissions area, and depending on major, must anticipate meeting higher levels of competition than the minimum.

A strong GPA is required by impacted campuses of the CSU such as CSU Fullerton. The actual competition cannot be set until after the initial filing period has closed and we are able to assess the size and quality of the application pool.

Areas of Impaction

There are three geographic areas of impaction:

The local area- includes all high schools in Orange County, Walnut, Whittier, Chino Valley, Corona, Norco and Alvord School districts.

Out of local area include all other areas of CA outside of those mentioned above.

Out-of-state students, non-CA residents and international students fall into the third area of consideration. Please note the local area guidelines and the other CA area guidelines pertain to CA residents.

Local Area

Local admissions area freshmen will need to present a strong high school record, with appropriate courses and grades. Depending on major, local freshmen may anticipate meeting higher levels of competition than the minimum GPA required by the non-impacted campuses of the CSU. First priority admission preference will be given to local freshmen for all majors. Local area freshman applicants are high school graduates within the geographic purple area depicted below.

To view our list of local high schools, see CSUF Local High Schools .

Out Local Area

Out-of-local area applicants will need to meet an even higher threshold of competition. The competition for the incoming term may be more competitive or less competitive than previous admission terms.

Majors with Additional Requirements

Like last Fall, we anticipate the competition for the Fall of 2021 to be quite keen. Admission to all majors at CSU Fullerton is impacted and competitive as we continue to have more qualified applicants than available new student spaces. The most competitive majors for FTFs are Nursing and Computer Engineering integrated BS/MS.

Admission to the Nursing major at CSU Fullerton for First-Time Freshmen is very competitive as CSUF continues to have more qualified applicants than available space in the program. To be considered for admission to Nursing, please review the Admission requirements.

Computer Engineering integrated BS/MS Applicants: Admission to the integrated BS/MS in Computer Engineering is expected to be very competitive with limited space available. To be considered for admission, First-Time Freshmen applicants must demonstrate the following:

Successful completion of at least three (3) AP tests (scores of 3, 4, or 5) for a total of 10 semester units

One of the AP tests must be Mathematics/Calculus AB or Mathematics/Calculus BC (score of 4 or 5 is required)

Must meet CSU Fullerton GPA requirement for the semester to which you are applying.

First priority admission preference will be given to all local freshmen for the Computer Engineering Integrated BS/MS major.

Music Applicants: Admission to the Music major is based on the performance of a successful Music Department Entrance Audition. Follow the link for detailed information about audition requirements, repertoire and scheduling of auditions. http://www.fullerton.edu/arts/music/students/prospective_undergrad_students.php

Admittance into the Department of Dance program (Bachelor of Arts in Dance,) includes passing a live dance audition. Auditioning for the dance major does not qualify you for entrance into CSUF, only for being a dance major once admitted to the University. For more information about the dance program and audition requirements, visit http://www.fullerton.edu/arts/dance/students/auditions.php
To download a copy of the Dance Audition Application Form, please visit https://apps.fullerton.edu/DanceAudition

Additional Admissions Information

Once enrolled, students may be required to meet additional admission requirements to change majors. A change of major may not be permitted into specific programs after the application has been submitted. CSU Fullerton does not use alternative major for admission consideration.

Admission decisions may be withdrawn for students who misreported academic information or who have not met the terms of the admission offer.

All students, new or returning, are admitted for a specific term. If a student is unable to begin their studies that term, they will need to reapply for a future term by submitting a new admission application.

For additional information regarding Undergraduate Students, refer to the University Catalog .

Special Consideration

A small portion of the freshman class may be admitted based on an GPA and additional characteristics including special talents, first generation college status, socioeconomic factors, and indications of overcoming educational obstacles.

Second Bachelor's Degrees

CSU Fullerton does not accept second bachelor's degree applicants with the exception of Nursing.
