California State University Extends Deadline For Wildfire Victims

The California State University system announced Tuesday it will allow victims of the wildfire to apply for an extension deadline for their applications.

The university system is currently accepting applications for the fall 2019 term through Nov. 30. However, anyone who experiences hardship can request an extension prior to the deadline, officials said.

The deadline can be extended to Dec. 15. Applicants can also get their application fee waived.

Before requesting an extension, students should complete the following steps:

• Create an application profile on the Cal State Apply website – Calstate.edu/apply
• Add the desired programs to their application – Only the programs added will be granted the deadline extension.

Requests can be made via email at calstateapply@calstate.edu with the following subject line: "Extension Request – Fire Event."

• The request must include the student's full name and unique CAS ID number. (The CAS ID number may be located in the upper right hand corner of any page of the application.)
• Incomplete requests will be returned to the student, and may delay the process.
