Exceptional Admission Information and Procedures

If you have applied to Humboldt State University (HSU) and do not meet regular admission eligibility requirements and you believe this is due to your disability, you may seek consideration for a Review for Exceptional Admission through the Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC).

Having a disability and obtaining an Exceptional Admission Review does NOT guarantee admission, however, in some cases, exceptional admission is granted. Please note, you should complete and send the California State University (CSU) Undergraduate Application for Admission directly to the HSU Admissions Office. For more information visit the Admissions and Records website.

You may apply to the CSU either by paper application form or via the web. There is no separate or different application for applicants with disabilities.

First, determine if you meet regular admission criteria. If you do not, you may send a cover letter with your application to Admissions indicating you would like to seek an exceptional admission review. Procedures for seeking an Exceptional Admission Review

The director or designee shall have ultimate authority to determine disability status, subject to established appeal procedures.
