• Not required to provide transcripts or test scores and are not subject to the normal academic evaluation process for acceptance by Admissions and Outreach.
• Unable to declare a major, nor can a degree be conferred
• Required to submit a new California State University Application for Admission for acceptance as a "new" visitor each quarter/semester.
