California wildfires cause CSU to extend application deadline

If you are looking to apply to a California State University for fall 2019, there is still time.

The priority application deadline for fall 2019 to any CSU has been extended to Dec. 15, according to a CSU news release.

The reason: wildfires. Due to the fires that have affected many across the state, the university system has announced an extension of the entire priority application process for fall admission to make sure that applicants still have the opportunity to apply.

The deadly fires in Northern and Southern California have been declared 100 percent contained. The Camp Fire in Northern California destroyed 13,972 structures and killed 85 people. The Woolsey Fire in Southern California destroyed 96,949 acres, leaving three dead.

As people begin to return to some normality, students seeking entrance into a CSU and who saw themselves affected are getting a bit of relief from the CSU. The deadline for fall semester applications was originally Nov. 30.

As of Oct. 1, all 23 CSU campuses began accepting applications for fall 2019 admission through the Cal State Apply website. For more information for applicants affected by the wildfires visit the CSU website.
