Grade Point Average
• The high school GPA is based upon grades earned in all approved college preparatory courses taken in the 10th, 11th and 12th grade. Initial decision can be made on 10th and 11th grades.
Tests & Scores
• The CSU accepts the SAT or ACT.• CSU examines only Critical Reading and Math portions
of SAT. • If a student submits multiple score reports the highest
score earned in each single sub score of the examination is used.• Example:
• 1st time: 500 M + 600 CR= 1100• 2nd time: 550 M + 550 CR= 1100• CSU total = 550 M + 600 CR= 1150
