Spring 2013 Admission: It is Chico State’s intention to open the application period for our three online degree programs for the spring 2013 semester from August 1-31. When the spring 2013 application period opens there are two important criteria prospective students must meet:
Please keep in mind that admission information is subject to change. Currently the Admission webpage states the University is closed for spring 2013. We expect that webpage to be updated soon. Prospective students who do not meet the above criteria will not have an opportunity to apply for the spring 2013 term unless they are completing the Associate Degree for Transfer, which was made possible through SB 1440. If you are interested in enrolling in online courses prior to admission, please see "Open University" below. When the application period begins, prospective students apply for admission to a program and to the University online at http://www.csumentor.edu/AdmissionApp/undergrad_apply.asp. This includes the link to the application form. For application information for transfer students, please check the Admissions Office web site at http://www.csuchico.edu/admissions/want-to-apply/transfer/index.shtml. Also, please see the step-by-step instructions for filling out the CSU Mentor application on our web site at http://rce.csuchico.edu/online/applicationinstructions.asp. The application fee is $55 and includes a complete evaluation of your transcripts.
