Sonoma State University’s admission process involves several key steps. First, applicants must submit an online application via Cal State Apply, along with a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts or previous college records are required to demonstrate eligibility, including a minimum GPA of 2.5 for California residents or 3.0 for non-residents.
Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional for most programs. Some majors may have additional requirements, such as portfolios or auditions. Deadlines vary by term, with fall admissions typically closing in November. After submission, applicants can track their status online and will receive notification via email once a decision is made.
