Fresno State has launched a new admissions program, the Welcome Home Initiative, designed for students who were enrolled this spring at a four-year college or university outside of the Fresno area but who have now returned home to the Valley due to circumstances relating to COVID-19. This is the first program of its kind in the California State University system. It is a one-time program specific to Fresno State.

If these students meet certain criteria, they can have an option to enroll at Fresno State for the fall 2020 semester through a streamlined admissions process.

“I have heard from many parents whose students want to continue their education close to home, and, as such, we are pleased to support talented Valley students through this specially designed program,” said President Joseph I. Castro. “Fresno State offers them a high-quality education at an affordable price.”
