The California State University has declared a systemwide impaction that will result in fewer students admitted for next fall. Also, deadlines to apply for Fall 2009 is Nov. 30!

In response to the state’s worsening fiscal crisis, and in anticipation of additional proposed budget cuts, for the first time in its history, the California State University has declared a systemwide impaction that will result in fewer students admitted for next fall. The CSU is already serving 10,000 students for whom the state provides no funding, and all indications are that 2009-10 will be the second consecutive year that the CSU receives no funding for enrollment growth. Potentially, CSU may curtail enrollment by up to 10,000 students throughout the system.
“Because the state is unable to provide the resources needed to fully fund demand, we are forced to make this difficult decision,” said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. “We cannot admit students if we are unable to provide adequate classes or instruction, support services or classroom facilities. We are taking this step to ensure the academic quality of the institution.”
