Update for CSU SAT/ACT Requirements: The CSU Board of Trustees unanimously approved the Committee on Educational Policy's resolution to amend Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations to remove SAT and ACT standardized tests from undergraduate admissions. The board's action eliminates standardized tests in the university's undergraduate admissions processes. The CSU is now TEST FREE! Read the press release to learn more about this important vote. The CSU Undergraduate Admissions and Standardized Tests site has additional details as well. Any submitted test scores by admitted students would be considered only for purposes of student placement in math or English courses. During the temporary suspension of testing through the pandemic, CSU campuses and programs have used multiple factors to augment GPAs, using a Multiple Factor Admission Score.
