Admissions Understanding First-Time Freshman Admission Areas Chico State will no longer require SAT or ACT for admission decisions and will instead use multi-factor admission criteria. The criteria include: Ă
GPA
Ă
Local admission service area
Ă
A-G courses beyond the Chico State minimum
Ă
Veteran status
Ă
Verified foster youth, unaccompanied homeless youth or ward of the court
Ă
Extracurricular activities
Applicants are "rank ordered" by GPA and additional multi-factored criteria. Admission offers will be made in descending order until the freshman class is full. We will not know the final GPA cut off until we are able to review the entire applicant pool.
Local admission area: Students who graduate from a high school in one of the following counties or school districts are from Chico State's local admission area: Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama, Yuba and four school districts in Trinity (Mountain Valley, Southern Trinity, Trinity Alps and Trinity High School). The Butte County Promise (butte.edu/buttecountypromise) demonstrates our commitment to local area students to remove barriers and provide opportunities to become both civically engaged and to earn a degree. Outside of our local admission area: Students who graduate high school from a county or school district in California that are not identified above are considered outside of our local admission area.
Applicants from the local admission areas will receive additional points toward their consideration.
