Due to state funding received to accommodate more students, certain CSU campuses have extended deadlines for spring applications.
CSU Long Beach and Dominguez Hills have pushed their deadlines to Oct. 15 and Jan. 7, respectively.
In addition, there are several other campuses still willing to take applications.Compared to the UC system, CSU campuses are known for offering more flexibility in receiving applications. It is common for most CSU campuses to extend their deadlines; however, this is unusual for Long Beach.
CSU Long Beach is an impacted campus since it is popular to apply to; the extension will offer students a chance to transfer without having to wait another semester.
"We had planned to reduce enrollment because of the budget cuts that we had expected. Since the budget cuts were less than expected, we are able to avoid part of that reduction in enrollment," David Dowell, Director of Strategic Planning for Enrollment at Long Beach, said.
The extension gives students enough time to apply for admissions for the next semester. It is also an opportunity for those who have been denied admission in the fall to apply again. (The extension) is only for transfer students, but applies to all undergraduate majors," Dowell said.
The extension on universities will permit them "to enroll up the state-funded target."
Earlier this year, budget cuts caused universities to reduce services and enrollment, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has agreed to fund programs that would escalate enrollment for the school year 2004-2005.
This resulted in an extra $40.3 million for the CSU system, allowing for an extra 7,500 students in the spring term.
"This funding will ensure that they receive the necessary support services to be successful at our campuses," Charles Reed, CSU Chancellor, said
Students applying for spring admissions must apply through the familiar process like the one required during the regular filing period.
