Spring 2010 - Closed to all categories
Due to the California budget crisis, the California State University is facing an unprecedented reduction in its 2009-2010 support budget. In order to assure both quality and access, the CSU system must bring enrollment in line with available limited resources by implementing extraordinary enrollment control policies. As a result, all CSU campuses have been directed that they may not accept any admission applications to state supported programs for the Spring 2010 term for any enrollment category.
