CSUMentor is a website designed to help students and their families learn about the California State University (CSU) system. The CSU is comprised of 23 excellent campuses.
FRESHMAN ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS OVERVIEW
FRESHMAN ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
It is easy to understand the CSU admission requirements for California residents. Admission offices at the 23 campuses use three factors to determine eligibility.
Most applicants who are admitted meet the standards in each of the following areas:
Many CSU campuses have higher standards for particular majors or for students who live outside the local admission area. Because of the number of students who apply, several campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Many CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and community colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. You may review the CSU Local Admission Areas for each campus here.
FRESHMAN ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA
The three factors used to determine the admissibility of nonresident students are the same as those for California residents.
The primary difference is that the eligibility index (a combination of grades and test scores) is somewhat higher. Nonresident students need to complete the same pattern of courses, but need a higher GPA and test score combination. See the Eligibility Index for Nonresidents for more details.
Please note that California residents receive priority whenever admission space is limited.
REGULARLY UPDATING A STUDENTS ACCOUNT ENSURES SUCCESS!
By regularly updating our student’s database we ensure that our young men stay focused on academic excellence. The ongoing attention to completing their academic goals help our students keep their eyes on the prize! Thus far, the result is an overall 100% acceptance to four year universities including CSU’s, UC’s and HBCU’s.

April 30th, 2016 – To often in today’s society the focus is on athletic prowess or celebrity; not so much on focusing on the growth of the youth and celebrating their academic accomplishments. In this vein The Blue Heart Foundation held its 2nd President volunteer award and Signing Day Celebration. The purpose of this dinner is to acknowledge the dedication and drive of the members of the Blue Heart Foundation’s mentoring program HEART (Higher Education And Rising Together) as they work to improve the quality of life of themselves as well as community.
As Blue Heart graduated their first class of seniors the feel was that one that created a sense of celebration as well as community. These young men are the driving force for many successful community clean-ups, programs and events. Blue Heart feels it’s very important to acknowledge these young men for their accomplishments. Salina Scott (Parent) stated “Our son James has had the wonderful opportunity to be part of such a great experience, The Blue Heart Foundation Inc., has given him various opportunities to better himself, and in doing so has extended his perceptions of how much he can impact others as well as himself, by showing compassion for others’ lives, and experiences. James has always had words of encouragement to share with others, but his participation with Blue Heart has allowed actions as well.”
As the awards portion of the event began with the recognition of this year’s President Volunteer Service Award winners with Bronze Level Awards going to Jamil Duke, James Scott, Jacques Morgan and Demaurier Palmer; the Lifetime Achievement Award went to Isaiah Coleman. Next came recognition from Congressman Juan Vargas by District Representative Stephanie R Allen who’s beautifully compelling presentation filled the room with appreciation and love.
Finally, we get to the signing day … Where will the seniors be taking the next step in their academic journey? First was Dallas Edge who committed to UC Merced followed by Demaurier Palmer (Alabama A&M) whom stated “When Tracy trusted me, I has no choice but to give 110 %. So, when it was my last chance to take my SAT.. I wasn’t going to let walking 6 miles stop me! Next was Jamil Duke (Sacramento State) followed by Jacques Morgan (Alabama A&M), Bernard Richardson (Northern Arizona University), James Scott IV (California State – Los Angeles) whom said “I’m not done with Blue Heart and going to come back to mentor” and closed with Isaiah Coleman whom said “I never had a fraternity of brothers until now…and I’m proud to be a member of The Blue Heart Foundation.
We want to be sure to thank both the San Diego’s Black Police Officer Association and Edith Jimmerson for their contributions. Last but not certainly not least we want to be sure to thank all the parents and community supporters. Without your support there would be no HEART of Blue Heart Foundation. Tracy Morris proudly exclaimed “I am so full of joy, pride and thankfulness that these wonderful people trust me with their most precious gift… their children”
