Prospective Students Urged to Apply Early for Admission to SSU

The priority application period for students applying to Sonoma State University for Fall 2009 is now open through Nov. 30.

SSU is an impacted campus due to its popularity and high volume of applications during the priority application period and prospective students are urged to apply early.

Students planning to apply to SSU should visit the CSU Mentor Web site - www.csumentor.edu - to file an online application.

For the first time, the University will allow students to track the progress of their application through its student management system once it is filed with CSU Mentor.

The University begins processing applications on Dec. 1 and notices of acceptance will be transmitted through March, 2009.

ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS!

(November 20, 2008) – State high school students visiting the California State University (CSU) Chancellor’s Office YouTube channel will see new videos with a simple message: hurry up and apply if you want to attend a CSU.

The CSU system is asking students, high schools, education groups, news outlets, churches and communities to link and post these YouTube videos on their own websites.

Less than two weeks remain for the fall 2009 priority deadline of Nov. 30, 2008. At least nine CSU campuses will close their application periods for first-time freshmen on that day. Many campuses will follow soon after.
