CSU Admissions Definitions

• Impaction – When a program or level (first-time freshmen, upper-division

transfer) or campus receives more applications from eligible students during the initial application filing period than can be accommodated given the available resources

• Local – students who graduate from a high school or community college district

historically served by the CSU campus in that region

• Redirection - A process that ensures that applicants eligible for admission who

cannot be accommodated at their first- choice campus(es) are redirected to another CSU campus without having to complete another application for admission

9

Program/Major Impaction

• Occurs when a campus receives more eligible applications for a

specific undergraduate program in the initial filing period than there are enrollment spaces available.

• Most campuses have at least one impacted major/program
• Typically impacted at upper-division level
• Students must meet criteria such as specific core/major prep

courses, GPA in thosecourses, cumulative GPA, or a combination of factors

March 2 for the FAFSA and DREAM applications

• Respond to requests for information from the campus
• Students may be selected for “verification,” which requires they

submit documents like tax transcripts

• Students should check their email often and their school online

portals

award letters
