I just checked the portal tonight and status is denied/redirect and no email yet. Does anyone know what this means? Redirect to other CSU campus or junior college? Please help. Thank you.
We are in the same boat… I will be checking this often to see if anyone knows about this.
@beyoncee23 Maybe email will be later and we can call them on Monday. Thanks!
@AGCOLLEGE if you are redirected, I believe this means that in April, your CSU application will be sent to other CSUs that are not impacted for admission. I’m not 100% sure, but it’s what I’ve been able to gather
@AGCOLLEGE I also just realized you’re a Class of 2023 student. I’m a transfer student and that’s how it is for us, not sure if there’s any difference. Sorry about that.
What I don’t understand though is it says they do this because of it being impacted but the major I’m applying to is English which is non impacted.
@AGCOLLEGE what major were u applying to
From the CSU website:
**If you are a first-time freshman, upper-division transfer student or an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) student applying to the CSU and you are a California resident for tuition purposes, CSU-eligible and have not been admitted to any CSU to which you applied, there is the chance that the campus(es) you applied to don’t have the capacity to admit more students.
If this happens, you will be redirected to an alternate CSU campus. This is called redirection.
Redirection occurs after all campuses report their admission decisions for a given semester to Cal State Apply. For fall admission, this will be after April 1.
Eligible applicants who have not been admitted to any CSU campus(es) to which they applied because of a lack of capacity are then identified. Each student will then be contacted by email; the email will include instructions. When you receive the email, you will need to go to Cal State Apply and select a first- and a second-choice campus. Available alternate campuses are based on campus capacity.
ADT applicants who previously selected an alternate campus when they applied will also need to return to Cal State Apply to confirm their alternate choice(s) to ensure every applicant has a full choice of campus options.
After you have identified a first- and a second-choice campus, your application to the CSU will be redirected to your first-choice campus unless that campus has run out of capacity. To ensure your application is redirected to your first-choice campus, respond to the email as quickly as possible.
You will be sent a notification by email confirming the redirection.
The campus you’ve been redirected to will appear in your Cal State Apply account on the “Check Status” page. You will next be contacted by the redirected campus about the next steps in the process.
@Gumbymom thanks so much! I will call Pomona tomorrow to confirm.
@beyoncee23 Psychology.
@Gumbymom does that mean that if my D chooses a school that is not impacted with her choice of major that she has a good chance of getting in?
@dodgers123: Yes, if the campus and major are not impacted, then the chances are better for an acceptance.
@Gumbymom hi again. Do you know if Cal State will be the one sending us the email instructions about Redirection process? Thank you! Im also trying to call cal state but now on hold.
