*The California State University (CSU) no longer uses ACT or SAT examinations in determining admission eligibility for all CSU campuses. If accepted to a CSU campus, ACT or SAT test scores can be used as one of the measures to place students in the proper mathematics and written communication courses. Visit the CSU Student Success site for further information on course placement.
If you have taken any exams (such as AP, CLEP, or IB) that you wish to get college credit for please also submit these scores. Not all exams receive credit, please visit the Credit by Examination page of our academic catalog for a complete list of exams, passing scores, and credit earned.
