Spring 2011

SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING THE

 SPRING 2011 ADMISSION APPLICATION PROCESS


 

CSU, Chico will accept applications for the spring 2011 semester from credential candidates who are graduates of CSU Chico. The filing period is Aug. 1 – 31, 2010.  Due to unprecedented budget uncertainty, applications are being accepted awaiting passage of the 2010-11 California budget.   We will process your application conditionally. This means that NO offer of admission will be made until we know more about the budget, including funding to support an increase in CSU’s enrollment.
 
Once a budget is adopted, you will be notified of your options:
(1) If the budget provides funding to increase CSU enrollment, we will finalize the review of your admission eligibility for the spring 2011 term.

(2) If the budget does not provide additional funding to increase CSU’s enrollment, you will have the option to either (a) request that your admission application be deferred from spring 2011 to the fall 2011 term or (b) request that your admission application be withdrawn and the application fee be refunded.
