Transfer students with at least 60 units, freshmen are eligible for admission

SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, 2006 -- San Francisco State University will accept undergraduate applications for spring 2007 between Aug. 1 and Sept. 29.

Transfer students with at least 60 transferable units and first-time freshmen are eligible for admission.

The Sept. 29 deadline ensures that SF State does not admit more students than it can adequately serve, said Jo Volkert, associate vice president for enrollment planning and management.

In recent years, SF State has received record number of applications for admission, as prospective students tend to apply to multiple universities and the population of students graduating from high schools in California has risen. SF State received 43,655 applications for fall 2006, an increase of 10 percent over the previous fall.

Prospective students should apply online, at www.csumentor.edu, to receive an admissions decision more quickly.

Spring 2007 graduate applications are due by Nov. 1. However, certain graduate programs have earlier deadlines and require an additional application. For details, visit: www.sfsu.edu/~gradstdy or call the Division of Graduate Studies at (415) 338-2234.

SF State will accept fall 2007 applications beginning Oct. 1.

Prospective students interested in on-campus housing are encouraged to submit a housing application before being admitted to SF State, as space is limited and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. For details, call (415) 338-1067 or visit: www.sfsu.edu/~housing.
