FALL 2010 Admissions Cycle
The priority filing period for Fall 2010 graduate admission applications will be October 1 - November 30, 2009.
The University deadline for Fall 2010 Graduate Admissions will be March 1, 2010. Applications will be reviewed, pending space availability and graduate admission standards.
Sacramento State operates under a completion deadline process. Your file must be complete by the closing date – all transcripts, test scores, and documents must be received by the Office of Graduate Studies by the close of business on the final application filing date. University applications are term specific, which means that Sacramento State will not defer or roll forward your application or admission from term to term. If you do not attend Sacramento State in the term designated on your application, then you must reapply and submit a new application and fee for the subsequent term you wish to start attending Sacramento State.
If you have not done so, please visit our HOW TO APPLY page on the Office of Graduate Studies’ web site, which provides detailed information on how to apply to California State University, Sacramento. A comprehensive list of open and closed majors may be obtained by viewing the deadline dates.
