The admission process at Humboldt State University (HSU) involves several steps. First, applicants must submit an online application via the Cal State Apply portal, along with a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts or GED scores are required, as well as college transcripts for transfer students. SAT or ACT scores are optional for most programs.
HSU reviews applications holistically, considering GPA, coursework rigor, and extracurricular activities. Deadlines vary by term, with fall admissions typically due by November 30. After acceptance, students must submit final transcripts and complete orientation. Financial aid applications, like FAFSA, should be submitted by March 2 for priority consideration.
