FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prospective Students Advised to
Apply Early For Fall 2009
(Carson, CA)— High school
seniors considering attending California State University, Dominguez
Hills (CSUDH) beginning fall 2009 are encouraged to get their applications
in early.
The priority application period for the California
State University system for the 2009-2010 academic year is now
through
Nov. 30,
and officials are strongly advising students to submit their
applications through the CSU application web site, www.csumentor.edu,
well before
the November deadline to ensure admittance.
The deadline does not
apply to transfer students, graduate students or those seeking
teaching credentials. Application deadlines for
those students vary, but all students are still encouraged not
to wait to submit their applications.
The urgency to apply early
is tied directly to the state’s
ongoing budget crisis. It is anticipated the CSU system will not
receive an increase in funding for enrollment growth for the 2009-2010
academic year. As a result, and despite record numbers of high
school graduates interested in going to college, the CSU is being
forced to slow enrollment by closing the freshmen application period
earlier than ever.
Students intending to enroll at CSU Dominguez
Hills as first-time freshmen in fall 2009 can get information about
the campus by logging
on to www.csudh.edu and clicking on the “Apply Today” link.
There they can link to www.csumentor.edu, as well as find answers
to questions about the cost to attend, financial aid opportunities,
degree programs, and student housing. The page also includes a
link to the university’s College Portrait, which provides
extensive information about student demographics, graduation rates,
success and progress. “
Cal State Dominguez Hills serves a vital role for educating students
in the South Bay and greater Los Angeles region,” said Sue
Borrego, vice president of planning and enrollment management. “With
small class sizes and excellent faculty, Dominguez Hills helps
students develop the critical skills necessary to serve the community
and contribute to the local economy. It is critical that they not
miss such an opportunity, so we encourage them to apply early.”
