CSU Application Filing Periods
Application Term	Applications First Accepted	Initial Filing Period
Fall Semester/Quarter 2010	October 1, 2009	October 1-November 30, 2009
Winter Quarter 2011*	June 1, 2010	June 1-30, 2010
Spring Semester/Quarter 2011*	August 1, 2010	August 1-31, 2010

* Due to budget cutbacks and with few exceptions, the majority of California State University campuses have limited transfer admission for fall term only for the 2010-2011 cycle. To determine if a specific campus and/or program is accepting applications visit http://www.csumentor.edu/filing_status/ and click on the campus notice column. As a result of the precarious budget situation throughout the state of California, students interested in applying during the 2010-2011 academic year should apply as early as possible and check CSUMentor periodically to determine the admission status for Winter and Spring terms.

Caution: The final responsibility for a successful transfer program rests with the student. Resources online and at De Anza College are designed to assist you in getting as accurate information as possible. This information changes frequently, however, and can impact your admission to the university. It is highly advised that you meet periodically with advisors at both De Anza College and at the prospective university to confirm your choice of classes and develop an educational plan.
