Note. The 2009-10 CSU Graduate and Undergraduate Application marked the beginning of the transition to a new data collection process for ethnic and race data that was mandated by the Federal Government. Starting Fall 2009, applicants can self-identify with multiple racial groups. Students were encouraged to re-identify their ethnic and race backgrounds based on the new guidelines. Therefore, all ethnic and race data will reflect the new data collection process. |
