Redirected, but CSU eligible

You’re considering coming to Stanislaus State – that's great news. We recognize your arrival to this spot wasn’t traditional. Regardless, we’re thrilled to offer you the opportunity to become a Warrior. We want to make your admission process as smooth as possible. On this page, you will find resources and steps to complete your admission. We hope to welcome you to the Warrior family soon.

Redirected students have met all CSU admission requirements. However, the campus(es) they applied to did not have the capacity to admit more students. The CSU Redirection Policy provides students with the opportunity to choose another CSU campus open to redirected students.

Admission is conditional until we verify that you have met all CSU admission requirements as evidenced on your final official transcript(s).
