SPRING 2011
The initial application filing period for admission for the Spring 2011 term begins on August 1, 2010. However, because the California Governor and Legislature have not yet adopted a budget, San Francisco State University does not yet know how many students we can admit. While we will process applications, no offers of admission will be sent until we know more about the budget. Once a budget is adopted, we will notify you about your options.

APPLICATION TO GRADUATE STUDY AT SFSU
IS A 2-PART PROCESS:
If you have not already done so, please visit our "Steps to Applying" website for detailed information regarding how to submit your University application.
All academic programs require application materials in addition to what is required by the University (e.g. Statement of Purpose, writing sample, GRE or GMAT, additional department application, etc.). For information regarding what additional application materials need to be sent directly to the academic program, please contact the program directly or visit the program website (links to the program websites can be found on our Graduate Programs & Application Deadlines website).

INTERNATIONAL/FOREIGN-EDUCATED APPLICANTS
Applicants who require an F-1 or J-1 visa must fill out the CSU Mentor International Online Application instead of this application. Please click on the link and read all instructions carefully. Please also visit our Instructions for International Applicants website for additional information (including foreign document and English language testing requirements).
Students who were educated outside of the U.S. should visit our Requirements by Country website and our English Language Requirements website to see how their foreign academic documents will be evaluated and whether English language testing is required.

PAYMENT OF THE APPLICATION FEE
When you submit your CSU Mentor application you will be given the option to pay by credit card or by check/money order. Although either method of payment is acceptable, paying the application fee by credit card will expedite the processing of your application. If you choose to pay your application fee by check/money order, please visit our "Steps to Applying" website for details regarding how to submit payment.
SFSU must receive your application fee before your application will be reviewed. The application fee is nonrefundable and may not be transferred to another application term.
