Important notice: The ADT guarantees admission into a CSU; however, it does not guarantee admission into any particular campus or program of your choice. The ADT degree you choose (above) is the major the CSU will accept you under. The ability to change your major after being admitted to the CSU is at the discretion of each individual CSU.
If you will be receiving a verified ADT degree, and you are not admitted to a CSU, your application will be redirected to another CSU (Please note: ADT applicants accepted to at least one CSU campus will not be redirected.). To learn more about Redirection of your CSU application, please visit the CSU ADT Redirection page.
