Students in a classroom

CSUMentor

CSUMentor is the official online application of the CSU. It has information on admission, financial aid, majors, virtual tours of each campus, a student planner and more.

Early Assessment Program (EAP)

  • The EAP helps high school students meet college readiness standards in English and mathematics.
  • EAP exams are optional and are given in the spring of the 11th grade as part of the required California Standards Tests (CSTs). Eleventh graders will be notified of testing dates in early spring.
  • Students who take the EAP may be able to:
    • Skip the required CSU English and/or mathematics placement tests
    • Identify the need for additional preparation in English and math to succeed at the CSU while still enrolled in high school
    • Adjust senior-year coursework to prepare for the CSU
    • Avoid spending time and money in college remediation courses that do not count toward a bachelor's degree

Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project (MDTP)

The MDTP is an assessment test that determines readiness for mathematics courses from pre-Algebra to Calculus. Find out if your school participates.
