Counts applications to this campus, so a student who applied to several CSU campuses appears at each. Not a California resident includes international students, which the CSU dashboard does not separate. Transfer figures are for undergraduate transfers. A dash means CSU hides a figure that is too small to publish. Source: California State University.
