Freshman Admission

Students who have not completed any courses at a college or university after high school graduation are considered “freshmen” students.  Please refer to application and document deadlines.

Admissions criteria include the following:

1) Please make sure that your transcript includes grades from the 1st half of your senior year, or last year in high school. Under the UK Education system, students with “O” levels need at least 5 subjects completed to be considered for admission.

2) English language requirements.

3) Submit SAT or ACT if graduating from an American high school. CSULB uses a sliding scale, a combination of GPA and SAT/ACT score. The lower the grades are, the higher overall SAT/ACT score should be. When considering the eligibility index, the highest mathematics and verbal scores of SAT are calculated.  Applicants graduating from a high school/secondary school outside of the U.S. are not required to provide SAT/ACT exam results, but they may submit the results if they have already taken them.

* If you have attended multiple high schools, please contact our office.
