Fresno State Admissions Impaction Information

Fresno State remains an open campus with impacted programs. This means admission to these impacted programs remain competitive because Fresno State continues to receive more qualified applicants than can be accommodated. In order to ensure capacity is not exceeded, a more rigorous standard is applied to the application pool. For those, meeting the minimum California State University (CSU) eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission to the programs. Additionally, non-local applicants will need to meet a higher admission threshold.

It is important to understand that the admission threshold for each of these impacted programs varies, depending on the capacity of the majors to take new students, and the number of students applying to the major for that term.

Due to impaction, the GPA requirement will not be determined until after the priority application filing period ends. It will be based on the number of applications received, the competitiveness of the pool, and the number of enrollment spaces available.

For all other programs, Fresno State will admit students who meet the California State University (CSU) minimum requirements.
