Meeting minimum requirements for CSU admission

What does 'selection to the CSU' mean?

Minimum eligibility requirements may not be sufficient for you to obtain entrance to the campus or major of your choice.

Each CSU campus establishes screening (selection) criteria designed to make selections where there are more applicants than spaces available (see links below).

Where can I find screening criteria?

Screening criteria are listed in a variety of places:

Does preparation in the major serve as part of the selection criteria?

Yes, the completion of all or most of the lower division major preparation is frequently a type of selection criteria.

Caution: The final responsibility for a successful transfer program rests with the student. Resources online and at De Anza College are designed to assist you in getting as accurate information as possible. This information changes frequently, however, and can impact your admission to the university. It is highly advised that you meet periodically with advisors at both De Anza College and at the prospective university to confirm your choice of classes and develop an educational plan.
