How is My Financial Need Determined? (www.csun.edu/finaid/cost10.html)

The federal government standardizes the exact calculations used to determine the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). This means that your contribution would be assessed in the same way no matter what school you attended. Actual awards can vary by school because of the differences in cost. The methodology used can be explained with the following calculation: College Costs (Fees & Other Educational Expenses)

MINUS

Expected Family Contribution (from the FAFSA) EQUALS

Your Financial Need

“If you or your family has unusual circumstances (such as loss of employment) that might

affect your need for financial aid, submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

through the normal process. Once you receive an award notice from CSU, Northridge, contact

our office to speak with a financial aid counselor.”

First-Time Freshman Admissions Criteria (www.csun.edu/anr/applyftf.html)

To be considered for admission as a first-time freshman, you must:

1. File an application during the initial filing period. Be sure to file before the application

deadlines published at Admissions Calendars.

Please note: For Fall 2010 admission, no first-time freshman applications will be accepted after

November 30, 2009.

2. Graduate from high school or equivalent.

3. Have completed, with a grade of “C” or better, each of the courses in the comprehensive

pattern of college preparatory subject requirements: -English: 4 years

-Mathematics: 3 years. Algebra, geometry, and intermediate algebra

-Social Science/History: 2 years, including 1 year U.S. history or U.S. history and government -Science: 2 years. 1 biological and 1 physical with both labs.

-Foreign Language: 2 years in the same language (subject to waiver for applicants demonstrating equivalent competence)

-Visual and Performing Arts: 1 year. Art, dance, drama/theater, or music

-Electives: 1 year. Selected from English, advanced mathematics, social science/history, laboratory science, foreign language, visual and performing arts, and agriculture

Note: Be sure to send CSUN your official, preliminary high school transcript as soon as you complete the first semester of your high school senior year.

4. Earn a qualifiable eligibility index. The CSU statewide eligibility index is a weighted

combination of high school grade point average during the final three years of high school and

a score on either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT). All

grades earned in “a-g” college preparatory courses taken in 10th through 12th grades are used

to calculate the grade point average (GPA).

-For California residents in Tier 1, inside the Local Guarantee Admission Area, a minimum index of 2900 using the SAT or 694 using the ACT is required. Without SAT or ACT test scores, a minimum GPA of 3.00 is required. See resident eligibility index table.

-For California residents in Tier 2, outside the Local Guarantee Admission Area, the following admission criteria are used for freshman applicants:

A minimum high school GPA of 3.00

(8)

First-Time Freshman Admissions Criteria (continued)

Note: The academic characteristics of the Tier 2 freshman applicant population will determine the Eligibility Index cut-off, which may vary from year to year. Learn more at Freshman

Impaction.

For nonresidents, a minimum index of 3502 using the SAT or 842 using the ACT is required, or a minimum high school GPA of 3.61. See non-resident eligibility index table.

The eligibility index is calculated by using either the SAT or ACT as follows:

-SAT (scores in mathematics and critical reading) + (800 x high school grade point average) (10 x ACT composite score with out the writing score) + (200 x high school grade point average)

EPT and ELM Requirement

Although your English Placement Test (EPT) and Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) test scores are not requested as part of your admissions application to the University, you must satisfy the

requirement before enrolling in classes. Unless exempt, you must take the EPT and ELM tests

by June 19, 2010 for Fall 2010 enrollment. Because of heavy demand and limited seating, you should sign up for the tests much earlier than the June deadline.

For EPT and ELM information including test dates, online registration and exemptions, see the CSUN Testing Center website.

How to Apply

Submit an online application through CSU Mentor.

Three steps will simplify the admissions process. You should:

Gather your important documents (grades, transcripts, test scores) to have them handy for completing the online application at CSU Mentor ;

Request official transcripts and test scores, and ;

Have official transcripts and test scores sent to the CSUN Office of Admissions and Records.

Review deadlines and program status (open, closed or exceptions) in the Admissions Calendars. For additional information and planning, go to CSU Mentor and select Plan for College.

View CSUN Majors

To view majors, go to the CSUN Catalog at http://www.csun.edu/catalog/.

Even when the admissions cycle is closed for a semester, some majors may still be accepting

students. Look for the exceptions in the Admissions Calendars.

Freshman Impaction at CSU, Northridge

Summary

California State University, Northridge will admit all CSU-eligible first-time freshman applicants who graduate from high schools in its local guarantee admissions area. First-time freshman applicants graduating from California high schools outside the local area will be admitted by achieving the higher CSU eligibility index.

Details

Tier 1 - California State University, Northridge (CSUN) will admit all first-time freshman appli-cants who graduate from high schools in the California State University Northridge-defined lo-cal guarantee admissions area and who are eligible according to the standard California State University criteria.

Tier 2 - First-time freshman applicants graduating from California high schools outside the local area who achieve the higher California State University (CSU) eligibility index will be admitted first among the pool of Tier 2 applicants.

Frequently Asked Questions What is freshman impaction?

In order to manage enrollment within current budget constraints while preserving the highest quality academic experience and services to students, the California State University (CSU) system has declared "system wide impaction" (see CSU Declares Systemwide Impaction). Impaction requires each of the 23 CSU campuses to give priority admission consideration to first-time freshman applicants who graduate from high schools located within a closely-defined geographic area.

In response to this requirement, CSU, Northridge has recently defined its Local Guarantee Admissions Area, or Tier 1 school districts, as described in question 3.

Who is affected by freshman impaction?

Only first-time freshman applicants graduating from a California high school outside CSUN's Local Guarantee Admissions Area are affected by impaction. Beginning with the Fall 2009 se-mester, these applicants will be considered for admission if they meet additional Tier 2 admis-sion requirements.

All other CSUN applicants must meet the standard CSU admissions criteria for their class level and academic program. For details, select the "I Want to Apply" link for your student group on the Admissions and Records home page.

How has CSUN defined its local admission area?

CSUN's Tier 1 Local Guarantee Admissions Area includes public and private high schools in

All private high schools within the districts above Who is a Tier 1 applicant?

First-time freshman applicants who graduate from high schools that are inside CSUN’s Local Guarantee Admissions Area are Tier 1 applicants. They are eligible for admission if they meet the California State University standard admission criteria described at I Want to Apply.

Who is a Tier 2 applicant?

First-time freshman applicants who graduate from a California high school outside CSUN’s Local Guarantee Admissions Area are Tier 2 applicants. To be considered for admission, Tier 2 applicants must meet the additional admissions requirement of achieving the higher CSU statewide eligibility index.

What is the CSU eligibility index?

The CSU statewide eligibility index is a combination of your high school grade point average (GPA) and scores on either the ACT or the SAT. GPAs are based on grades earned in college preparatory courses ("a-g" subject requirements) taken during the final three years of high school. Included in calculating GPA are any bonus points earned for approved honors courses.

(12)

Freshman Impaction at CSU, Northridge (continued)

To calculate your eligibility index (EI), multiply your GPA by 800 and add your total score on the SAT mathematics and critical reading scores. If you took the ACT, multiply your GPA by 200 and add ten times the ACT composite score (do not include the writing score). In other words: EI using SAT I Scores = (GPA) x 800 + SAT I Total

EI using ACT Scores = (GPA) x 200 + (10 x ACT composite score) What are the first-time freshman admission requirements?

Please review the admission requirements for all first-time freshmen at I Want to Apply. When is the admissions application deadline?

Please see the Admissions Calendar. Even when an admissions cycle is closed, some majors may still be accepting students. Open programs are listed as exceptions in the Admissions Calendar.

I’ve already applied. What do I do next?

If you’ve already applied to CSUN and will graduate from a Tier 2 school district, you will re-ceive an admissions notice late January 2010. In the meantime, work to improve your SAT or ACT test scores. Be sure to follow the steps at “I Have Applied” (http://www.csun.edu/anr/ap-pliedftf.html).

Whether you're a Tier 1 or 2 applicant, be sure that CSUN receives your:

-Official high school transcript showing completion of the first semester of your senior year (send as soon as your Fall 2009 grades are posted)

-Official, final high school transcript showing completion of your final senior-year semester and verifying graduation date

-SAT or ACT test scores, or both. Have them forwarded electronically. -For SAT scores, contact the College Board/ETS

-For ACT scores, contact the American College Testing Program

-English Placement Test (EPT) and Entry Level Math Test (ELM) scores

For more information and a "to-do" list, see “I Have Applied” (http://www.csun.edu/anr/applied-ftf.html).

Freshman applicants who have not yet satisfied the English Placement Test (EPT) and Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) Exam requirements, and who are not exempt, must take these tests by June 19, 2010 for Fall 2010 enrollment. Because of heavy demand and limited seating, you should sign up for the tests much earlier than the June deadline.

For more detailed information about Admissions, testing, etc., please visit the CSUN web site at http://www.csun.edu/anr/.

The Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS) Office is available to

promote and provide equal access to educational programs and activities offered

by Los Angeles Valley College for otherwise qualified students with disabilities. DSPS can provide advocacy for students who find that their disability is a

barrier to achieving their educational goals. DSPS provides information about campus and community resources, and specialized support that is not available elsewhere on campus. The ability of each student to function independently in the educational environment is the ultimate goal.

Students may be eligible for one or more services, depending on the specific

nature of their disabilities. Students should provide documentation of disabilities to DSPS. DSPS staff work closely with each student to identify his or her

particular needs. Accommodations and services are determined by the nature and extent of the disability and the disability-related educational limitations of the student and are provided based on recommendation of DSPS.
