Things to Consider When Filling Out Application to the CSU

Source: CSU Resources for Undocumented Students

Important Considerations

  • Social Security number. The application will ask you to enter your Social Security number (SSN).  If you have qualified for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and have been issued a SSN, you are required to enter that number on your application.

  • If you do not have a SSN, you can leave that item blank on the application.
  • Residency. You should file a California Nonresident Tuition Exemption Request Form with the school.  Answer all questions about residency (where you live).

  • The law requires that hte information you share on teh California Nonresident Tuition Exemption Request form be kept confidential. (See California Education Code §68130.5(d): "Student informaiton obtained in the implementation of this section is confidential." Student informaiton is alos protected by the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
