Steps for Readmission

An undergraduate student who has been dismissed from Fresno State and is seeking readmission to the university must reapply via Cal State Apply. We recommend you contact the University Advising Center at (559) 278-1787 to meet with an Academic Counselor.

Undergraduate students who were placed on academic warning  from Fresno State and are seeking readmission to the university must meet all eligibility criteria below:

1. Must be out a minimum of 1 semester before re-applying to Fresno State (summer not included).
2. Complete one of the following course options through a regionally accredited institution (6 units minimum):
   • General Education (GE) foundation (Area A and B4) requirements*
   • If the foundation is complete, take 6 units of other remaining GE requirements
   • If all lower division GE coursework has been completed, take at least 6 units of degree or career-applicable CSU transferable coursework. (This may include upper-division coursework taken through Open University).
   • *Options b or c are only available if the student completes option a. (Fall applicants cannot use summer course work prior to the term student is reapplying).
3. Have graded coursework of a minimum 2.30 gpa (meet with counselor to determine by when).
4. Students who wish to return and pursue a different major must meet the impaction criteria for that major if there is such criteria. If they are returning to the same major, there is a possibility of readmission without meeting the impaction criteria.  However, all readmission is at the discretion of the department and/or program. Any returning student who has 60 or more units must declare a major, even if they left Fresno State as undeclared.
