  1. California State University Application Workshop Newbury Park High School Counselors October 10, 2013 Tina Choi A-C Chuck Severns D-He Lesley Drossin Hi-Mc Jose Ireta Me-R RikNapora S-Z

  2. California State University Overview • www.csumentor.edu • Filing period: October 1 through November 30 • File one application at a time, then return to CSU Mentor to complete each subsequent application. • Report SAT or ACT scores directly from College Board to CSU Mentor by using the SAT CSU code, 3594 , or use ACT Scores Manager

  3. Cal State University Overview • Twenty-three campuses • Only Cal Poly SLO has an early decision program (October 31) • No essays, no recommendations, no activities list (Cal Poly SLO has a brief activities page) • Do not send transcripts until requested to do so as you will “self-report” • List the schools you apply to on Naviance under “Schools I am applying to”

  4. IMPORTANT! • D’s or F’s during your senior year may jeopardize you acceptance to a CSU • Changes in your class schedule will need to be reported to each school by you (i.e. you are signed up for Physics CP in for Term 2 and report that but later you decide to drop it).

  5. California State Student ID • This ten digit number can be found on your Naviance Profile • Use your student ID number to register for your Naviance account • Instructions can be found here

  6. EPT and ELM • Check EAP results by going to the EAP site at www.calstate.edu/eap/results • You may also fulfill the this requirement through your SAT or ACT scores: • EPT = 500 on the SAT Reasoning or a 22 on the ACT Critical Reading • ELM = 550 on the SAT Math, or by scoring a 23 on the ACT Math • You may also fulfill the requirement by way of the AP Exams. See website for details. • If you did not fulfill the requirement, click here to sign up for the EAP Exam(s). https://ept-elm.ets.org/CSU/

  7. Warning: Failure to Meet the EPT/ELM Requirement Costs Time and Money • You cannot enroll in for-credit CSU college English and/or Math classes until you meet the requirement. • You must spend time taking remedial English/Math classes during your freshman year until you meet the requirement. • You will possibly graduate later because you get no degree credit for remedial English/Math classes. • You may have to pay additional charges for the remedial classes. • If you do not pass the remedial classes by the end of your first year, you may be withdrawn from the university.

  8. Visit the following sites… • www.csuenglishsuccess.org • www.csumathsuccess.org

  9. E O P The Educational Opportunity Program is designed to improve access and retention of historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged students. EOP students have the potential and demonstrated motivation to perform satisfactorily at a CSU, but they have not been able to realize their potential because of their economic or educational background.

  10. EOP Continued EOP accepts students who do not meet regular admission criteria, as well as those who qualify for regular admission. Once admitted as an EOP student, you may be eligible to enroll in an EOPsummer program to strengthen your math, reading, or other skills. During your enrollment in college, you can receive counseling, tutoring, and advising services. If you are eligible, an EOP grant may be awarded. • FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO APPLY: • https://secure.csumentor.edu/planning/eop/
