Admission Appeals
Admission decisions at California State University, Northridge (快活林性息) are based on our verification that the applicant's self-reported academic information meets admission eligibility requirements. 快活林性息聽may聽provisionally聽admit applicants until all eligibility requirements and deadlines have been met and verified with the appropriate documentation.

The appeal process depends on your class level:
- Undergraduate: Freshman, transfer or second bachelor's degree applicants, follow the steps on this page to prepare your admission appeal packet.
- Graduate: Master's or doctoral applicants,聽 to which you are applying to request an admissions appeal decision.
Both the Office of Admissions (undergraduates) and the Office of Graduate Studies defer to the specific department to which an applicant is applying to make the ultimate admission decision.
Please note: Applicants can file聽only one聽admission appeal per academic term. The decisions we render are final and non-negotiable for that term.
