Committed to Student Success from High School Preparation to College Graduation

At the CSU, we work every day to help ensure students have the opportunity to a timely completion of a rigorous, quality degree in preparation for a lifetime of achievement.

To accomplish this, the CSU has transformed academic preparation in an effort to provide all first-year students the opportunity and support needed to be successful in college-level coursework. This website provides guidance on assessment of English and math skills, enrollment in General Education (GE) English and math/quantitative reasoning courses and the Supportive Pathways for First-Year Students Program.
