Applying to CSUF Linkages
The linkage programs are designed to provide a limited number of highly qualified CSUF students an early assurance of admission to one of the current linkage programs.
Student Responsibilities
Students applying to this program should do so only if they are fully committed to attending if accepted.
Students must follow a study plan designed to meet all pre-requisites and recommended classes for the program to which they have been accepted. The courses in the study plan must be completed with minimum grades of B and an overall GPA of 3.3. (GWU requires an overall PB GPA of 3.6)
A grade or B or below, a grade of Incomplete or a semester GPA below 3.3 will be grounds for review and potentially revoking of the acceptance into the Linkage Program.
