Admission Assistance Eligibility Consideration Through the DPRC, Fall 2009
- All prospective students are responsible for meeting all admission application deadlines. All prospective students must apply and submit an application for ADMISSION to San Francisco State on or before the application deadline for each term.
For information about Admission requirements at S. F. State (including how to apply), visit the Future Students web site.
Please note that the application deadline for Fall 2009 has passed.
- S. F. State’s Admissions Office will fully evaluate your application for admission prior to admission assistance eligibility consideration by the DPRC. All prospective students requesting eligibility consideration through the DPRC must have all elements of their application for Admission (including official transcripts) completed and on file with the Admissions Office on or BEFORE April 15, 2009.
- If you receive a letter of denial or conditional admission from S.F. State’s Admissions Office and feel you need admissions assistance eligibility consideration on the basis of your disability, please follow steps A-D below:
You must submit the following paperwork (steps A – D) directly to the Disability Programs & Resource Center no later than Friday, May 29, 2009.
A. Copy of decision letter from S. F. State’s Admissions Office.
B. A completed DPRC registration form and documentation of your disability per DPRC Guidelines*. Please be aware: If you submit documentation that does not comprehensively meet our guidelines, it may prohibit us from being able to determine your eligibility for admissions assistance.
If you need a DPRC registration form or disability documentation guidelines, please contact dprc@sfsu.edu or call (415) 338–2472 v/tty. On the back page of the registration form under “Disability accommodations or services requested,” please write: Admission Assistance.
C. COPY of unofficial transcript(s) from previous school/college(s) [must include in progress units for final term, if any].
PLEASE NOTE: If you are an upper division transfer applicant who cannot meet the University’s quantitative reasoning (QR) admission requirement, you must provide an unofficial transcript showing that you attempted appropriate math classes at least twice in the proper sequence (e.g. pre-algebra, beginning algebra, etc.) and that you used disability accommodations on at least one attempt.
D. Letter of support from Guidance Counselor or Disability Specialist at your current school or college:
Guidelines for Letter of Support from your Guidance Counselor or Disability Specialist at your Current School/College
A support letter from a counselor or disability specialist with whom the student has recently worked is an important part of the process of evaluating an admission’s applicant’s situation.
The support letter must contain the following information:
- A detailed description of the specific way in which the student’s disability prevented him/her from completing the requirement; general statements are not sufficient.
- Detailed information about the attempts the student has made to meet the requirement(s), including disability accommodations and services used. If accommodations and services were not used, please explain.
- An explanation of how the student can be successful in a degree program at S. F. State even though s/he has not completed the requirement. Information about other areas of academic success and discussion of how the admissions deficiency will or will not impact the student in his/her major are helpful here. (Please note that the University is not required to alter academic requirements that are essential to the major being pursued.)
Please submit the required paperwork (steps A – D above) to:
San Francisco State University
Disability Programs & Resource Center, Student Services Building, 110
1600 Holloway Ave
San Francisco, CA 94132-4046
The submission of a request for admissions assistance to the University does not automatically result in a DPRC recommendation for admission. All decisions to recommend/not recommend admission are individually determined.
If you have additional questions, please contact Deidre Defreese at (415) 405-4250 or by email at
defreese@sfsu.edu
or Zi Hengstler at (415) 338-7878 or by email at zibelle@sfsu.edu.
* If you are transferring from a California Community College, please make sure your LD documentation includes a copy of your “Intake Interview” as well as all standardized test scores.
