The CSU system recently enacted a policy known as "Early Start" requiring incoming students who do not demonstrate readiness for college-level math and/or English to begin remediation during the summer before coming to a CSU campus.

The goals of Early Start are to better prepare students in math and English before their first semester, thereby improving their chances of completing a college degree.

• Early Start is required for incoming students who have not fulfilled the Entry Level Math and/or English Placement Test proficiency requirements.
• The program takes place the summer before the freshman year.
• Upon admission, CSU campuses will inform students how and where to sign up for Early Start.
• Courses which fulfill Early Start will be available at every CSU campus, at a few community colleges, and online.
• Financial aid will be available for those who demonstrate need.
