Multiple Measures

There are many ways to determine which first-year GE English and math/qualitative reasoning (QR) courses are right for each student. Factors known as “multiple measures” are used to evaluate each student’s academic preparation in these subjects.

Please Note:

• The CSU no longer uses ACT or SAT examinations in determining admission eligibility for all CSU campuses.
• If accepted to a CSU campus, ACT or SAT test scores can be used as one of the measures for students to enroll in the appropriate mathematics or English (written communication) courses.  
• For more information on admission criteria, please visit the First-Year Student Guidance  and the First-Year Student Frequently Asked Questions  pages.
