CSUS requires prospective students to take one standardized test. The ISEE (middle and upper school) test will be administered at CSUS on December 6, 2008 and January 24, 2009, but applicants may take it at any test site as long as the test is taken by January 31, 2009. CSUS also accepts results from the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). See www.iseetest.org or www.ssat.org for more information. Please note that you must register for the tests directly with ISEE or SSAT. Informing this office that the applicant is taking the test on a particular date DOES NOT mean that the applicant is registered for the test. The Admission office can also be contacted for more information.
