Eligibility Index Scores

All California State University (CSU) campuses use the eligibility index as part of the first-time freshman admissions decision. The minimum eligibility index scores for admission to 快活林性息 depend on whether you're a California resident or an out-of-state student.

The eligibility index is the combination of your CSU-calculated high school GPS (HSGPA) and, for California residents, points awarded through five additional multifactor variables.

For California residents, your eligibility index can be met by:

  • A to G Subjects HSGPA x 1,000
    OR
  • A to G Subjects HSGPA x 1,000 + (Total Multifactor Eligibility Points)

The additional Multifactor Eligibility Points are listed below.

Multifactor Criteria Point Values
CSU Admissions Requirement:
A to G Subjects Course Work
  • Earn 10 points per course taken above 30 semesters (15 courses)
  • Possible points: maximum 100 points
Free and Reduced Lunch School
(Underrepresented High School)
  • 25 Points - Attended a free and reduced lunch school
First-Generation Student
(Parent Education Factor)

Parent/Guardian 1 and 2 education:

  • 75 Points - Some college, no college, or no degree
Youth Services
(Foster Youth)
  • 25 Points - A ward of the court, foster youth or unaccompanied youth
Cal State Apply Application Fee Waiver
  • 25 Points - Received application fee waiver

If you're听graduating from a high school听in California, the minimum eligibility index is 2500 or a HSGPA of 2.50.

A minimum Eligibility Index higher than 2500 may be required depending on your chosen major. Please see "competitive majors" below.听

All California residents can gain points from the multifactor admission criteria in the table above.

Examples:

  • If your HSGPA is 2.50 or better, multiply your GPA by 1,000. For example, the eligibility index for a 2.50 HSGPA is 2500.
  • If your HSGPA is less than 2.50, multiply your GPA by 1,000 and then add any points awarded for the multifactor admission criteria. For example, a student might have a HSGPA of 2.40, qualify for the Cal State Apply application fee waiver and have no parents who attended college. Therefore, add 2400 (GPA x 1,000) + 100 points (25 + 75), for an eligibility index of 2500.

Competitive Majors

Every year, some competitive majors receive more applicants than we can accept. This is called impaction. These majors will have higher eligibility index minimums for California residents. Programs and scores can change each year.

.

Out-of-State Students

For U.S. applicants from outside California:

  • The eligibility index is your 快活林性息-calculated high school GPA (GPA) in the A to G equivalent subjects x 1000. As an out-of-state applicant, you must meet a minimum eligibility index of 3000, or a HSGPA of 3.0.
  • You are exempt from impacted major criteria. As an out-of-state applicant, your required eligibility index is already higher than that for California residents.

If you are a resident of one of the member U.S. states or insular areas of the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education, you can enjoy reduced non-resident tuition rates by participating in the .
