California State University extends fall 2021 application deadline to Dec. 15

Students applying to the California State University (CSU) system will have a couple more weeks to turn in their applications for the fall 2021 semester, officials announced on Tuesday.

Anyone who applies to any of the 23 CSU schools, including Fresno State, will be able to submit their applications by Tuesday, December 15.

CSU officials said the extension was issued due to admission challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The University of California school system also provided a short extension this week after reports of "technical difficulties" the night before the original deadline.
