DISCUSSION TOPICS CSU OVERVIEW
LOCAL ADMISSION PREFERENCE
NORWALK LA MIRADA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
EXPANDING LOCAL ACCESS TO CSULB
- -
THE CALIFORNIA 23 campuses
STATE UNIVERSITY 481,000 students
3.7 million alumni
CSU local preference
All in state applicants are considered local for non impacted CSU campuses
WHAT IS A SERVICE AREA?
Each CSU campus provides college access services to high schools in their service area
For some CSUs, the service area is used to define the local admission area but they are not always the same and are not required to be the same
WHAT IS A LOCAL ADMISSION AREA?
Each CSU campus provides priority admission status to applicants from schools
within their local admission area
When considering applicants from outside of their local admission area, most CSU campuses will raise
their admission standards
WHY IS LOCAL ADMISSION AREA IMPORTANT?
At many CSUs, the number of qualified applicants is greater than the number of available seats
This is known as “impaction”
An impacted campus will use raised admission standards to maintain services and class sizes
Sometimes an impacted campus will only require non-local students to meet the raised standards
LOCAL PREFERENCE AT CSULB
All eligible freshman applicants are admitted if applying from a local high school
All fully qualified transfer applicants are admitted if they earned a diploma or high school equivalent from a local high school or adult school

Graduation FRESHMEN ELIGIBILITY 3200 eligibility index
Eligible applicants from local high schools are offered admission REQUIREMENTS
CSU ELIGIBILITY INDEX (GPA x 800) + SAT EBRW + SAT Math
WHAT’S THE ISSUE?
No CSU has designated Norwalk La Mirada Unified School District as local for admission purposes
Graduates of Norwalk La Mirada USD are at a disadvantage when compared to their peers at other California public schools
More CSU campuses are now impacted, limiting opportunity for Norwalk La Mirada USD graduates
The three CSUs closest to Norwalk La Mirada USD are impacted
CSU Long Beach - 13.1 miles
CSU Fullerton – 13.4 miles
CSU Los Angeles – 13.6 miles
This means Norwalk La Mirada USD graduates must meet more stringent admission standards if they wish to study close to home
WHAT CAN BE
CSULB can redefine its local admission area to include Norwalk La Mirada Unified School District
With this addition, CSULB can provide greater CSU access and college opportunity to the students served by Norwalk La Mirada USD’s adult school and five high schools
DONE? CSULB LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS ABC Unified School District
Bellflower Unified School District
Compton Unified School District
Downey Unified School District
Huntington Beach Unified School District
Long Beach Unified School District
Los Alamitos Unified School District
→ Norwalk La Mirada Unified School District
Paramount Unified School District
WHY INCLUDE
NORWALK-LA MIRADA?
CSULB is committed to our mission of expanding access and removing barriers
We can improve access to high-quality, low-cost degrees for 400+ college-bound students
CSULB is the closest CSU to Norwalk La Mirada Unified School District – 13. 1 miles
ABC USD and Downey USD both neighbor Norwalk La Mirada USD and are local to CSULB
Graduates of J. Glenn High School (Norwalk La Mirada USD) were considered local before CSULB became impacted
Map of current CSULB Local Area
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE CURRENT LOCAL SCHOOLS?
Students from high schools in CSULB’s current local area will not be affected
The same rules would continue to apply to local First-Time Freshmen and Transfer applicants
The addition of Norwalk La Mirada USD to CSULB’s local area will not change current practices regarding admission offers to students at other local schools
