Admission and Applications
Carefully read the following information: General Undergraduate Admission Information and Undergraduate Admission Procedures can be found in the online version of the SFSU Bulletin.
Please carefully read the International Student Admission Requirements section of the Bulletin. Note that international students pay substantially higher fees and may have a different set of application deadlines. Also, please be aware that your immigration status in the US has a strong bearing on your health profession school prospects. If you are not a US citizen or resident with a green card, you will be seen as an "international" student, and thus have many fewer places in US health profession schools available to you. Contact SFSU's Office of International Programs for additional help.

Notes
a: Application periods for San Francisco State University may change. To get up-to-date deadline information, see SFSU's Dates and Deadlines web page. Please note that some departments do not accept undergraduate applications for spring admission.
b: In March, 2007, the summer schedule is expected to go online, and applications for summer offerings should become available. However, summer applications/admissions are restricted to summer classes, and do not confer undergraduate status. If you want to take classes during the summer and beyond as an undergraduate, apply online for fall or spring admission.
Online Application
Application information and materials can be found here.
Transfers
See appropriate section of Undergraduate Admission Procedures. Until officially admitted, you should take classes through our Open U. Transfer course equivalencies (articulation agreements) among all California Community Colleges and the California State University system can be found at the Assist web site.
Checking Admission Status
Applicants who have been given an SFSU ID number can check the status of their application online at the MySFSU web site or at the Admission Status web page. To make use of these sites, applicants must first establish an SFSU account. If they do not know their SFSU ID number, or do, but did not create a PAC (personal access code) number, the web site will give instructions. Applicants can also call 415-338-1113; however, this is a high volume number with possibly long waits. We prefer that applicants first check their admission status on the web, then call with their questions about what they have read on the web. You can call 338-1113, 338-1634 or 338-6486, or e-mail to follow up on your application.
Completion of BS Degree
At any time during your stay at SFSU, you can request a Degree Audit Report (DARS) and/or an Advanced Standing Evaluation (ASE) that show which courses you need to pass to finish the BS degree. Transfers, after admission to SFSU, should automatically receive a DARS or ASE. Undergraduates must fulfill SFSU's English and math requirements and/or take the JEPET and EPT/ELM tests soon after admission to complete the BS degree. For more complete information, see the Graduation Requirements section of the online SFSU Bulletin.
Registration
Undergraduates are assigned registration dates that fall about two months before classes begin. These registration dates are usually earlier than those assigned to 2nd-bacs, who have lower priority. Registration can be accomplished online at MySFSU. Consider looking at the SFSU Registrar's web site for other useful information.
