The CSU designates programs as impacted when more applications are received in the initial filing period (October and November for fall terms, June for winter terms, August for spring terms, February for summer terms) than can be accommodated. Some programs are impacted at every campus where they are offered; others are impacted only at some campuses. Candidates for admission must meet supplementary admission criteria if applying to an impacted program.
The CSU will announce during the fall filing period those programs that are impacted and the supplementary criteria campuses will use. That announcement will be published in the CSU Review , distributed to high school and college counselors, and made available online at www.calstate.edu/AR/csureview. Information about the supplementary criteria also is sent to program applicants. Detailed impaction information is also available at www.calstate.edu/AR/impactioninfo.shtml
Applicants must file your applications for admission to an impacted program during the initial filing period. Applicants who wish to be considered in impacted programs at more than one campus, you they must file an application to each.
