PICTURE YOURSELF AT UC BERKELEY
Due to budget limitations, UC Berkeley is not able to make any personal visits to community colleges this season. However, they have created a "one-stop" website for prospective students to discover what UC Berkeley has to offer and find out what it takes to become a Golden Bear. On this webpage, students can complete an interest form and receive login information for their own personalized webpage. Plus, their names will be added to the Admission's email list so they can receive event invitations, advising opportunities, and admissions news to help in their countdown to applying to Berkeley.

Cal Poly Pomona will continue to admit all fully CSU eligible transfer applicants in Cal Poly Pomona’s local service area on the basis of CSU admission eligibility criteria. All other transfer applicants will be rank-ordered by GPA. The academic characteristics of the transfer applicant pool will determine the GPA cut-off and may vary from year to year.
Approximately 15 percent of the transfer class may be admitted based on a rank-ordered GPA and additional characteristics, which include socioeconomic or educational factors, space availability in a unique program or major, indications of overcoming educational obstacles, or exceptional talents.
All CSU subject matter requirements must be complete, in progress, or planned to be completed with a “C” or better and may not be completed during the summer term immediately preceding fall enrollment.
What are the minimum requirements for consideration?
The following requirements must be completed by all transfer applicants.
- Applications must be submitted during the initial filing period;

CSU LONG BEACH TRANSFER GPA INFORMATION
Due to the California budget crises, enrollment will continue to be severely restricted for Fall 2010.

The information provided below is based on the Fall 2009 admission cycle. It is intended to assist students and counselors as they consider applying to CSULB.

The EAP will provide students with access to Chapman University College’s advising services, locking in their catalog year, program evaluation, transfer credit through the use of Web Advisor, and personalized advising while attending Saddleback College.
“Saddleback College is proud to collaborate with Chapman University College in offering students additional resources to continue their higher education in Orange County,” stated Dr. Burnett. “Combined with Saddleback College’s outstanding transfer center counselors, this partnership with Chapman University College is a win-win for our students.”
“Chapman University College establishes EAP agreements with local community colleges to provide students with a clearly defined path to pursue their higher education by giving them direct support and counseling,” said Chancellor Brahm. “It’s reassuring for these students to know that the time they are investing in their coursework will be transferable to Chapman University College and that our counselors will guide them throughout the entire process.”

Students must attend at least one academic term/semester at Saddleback College, and transcripts from all previous colleges attended must be submitted with the application to verify GPA eligibility.
“Chapman University College is pleased to be working with Saddleback College to expand educational opportunities for students in south Orange County and the surrounding community,” said Jill Parma, director of Chapman University College’s Irvine campus.
Chapman University College is a member of the Chapman University system, a nonprofit higher education institution which has been serving the unique needs of adult students for 50 years.
