California State University, Fresno was founded as Fresno State Normal School in 1911, became a teacher's college in 1921, and has offered advanced degrees since 1949. The university's popular nickname is "Fresno State." Our mascot is the Bulldog.

The university is accredited by the California Board of Education and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. It has 26 nationally accredited departmental programs, among the highest number within the CSU system.

Fresno State's 388-acre main campus and its 1,011-acre University Farm are located at the northeast edge of Fresno, California, at the foot of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range. The surrounding San Joaquin Valley is one of the richest agricultural areas in the world, and Fresno is the fifth largest city in California. The university is within an hour's drive of many mountain and lake resorts and within a three- or four-hour drive of both Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Orientation

Hey y’all. I’m transferring as a junior this spring, but I saw that there’s an orientation that’s 70 dollars?? Is that mandatory, or can I accept my admission without having to go through orientation.

Rollerblading Guy

Does anybody know the rollerblading guy that skates around in front of the Joyal building? I’ve seen him a couple times and he always has a speaker or two blasting music. He was wearing a plague doctor mask today. I need his playlist! I was going to try to talk to him but he was too fast lol.

I do not like Financial aid

I officially do not like them 😑. First it’s takingggg forever to receive my cal grant and it wasn’t showing on my account saying I was receiving it. Finally last week it shows on my account that I am and so I call them and ask when I’ll be receiving my cal grant .. they tell me next week I should get an email saying my aid is getting disbursed… so today has been a week and I haven’t gotten any updates . So I call…. Then the lady tells me that the reason why I’m not receiving my aid yet is because it says I got over disbursed 😑 and now an advisor has to look at it and that usually takes another 2-3 weeks depending on how fast the advisor works 😭😭😭

UPDATE: went to the financial aid office and talked to them and they fixed it! So I should be getting my aid sometime in a week or less!! Phew 😮‍💨

college decision

hey y'all. i'm enroute to apply for colleges. i'm from san diego california but i currently live in korea because my dad has a job here. i go to a international school that has lots of americans and people around the world.

I'm going into Elementary Education.

my three college options right now are

  1. UNLV
  2. Fresno State
  3. CSUSM

UNLV is my #1 right now because rent there is cheaper than in California. However I want to apply to at least 3 schools so I had Fresno in my mind. The one thing I like about Fresno the football team, I've always wanted to experience the college football lifestyle because I never got the high school football lifestyle here being abroad at an international school. If y'all could let me know what Fresno State is like, like the city, the people, the "college life" (are there any parties? how are the football games), I'd be so grateful! Also, I saw that Fresno State was a commuter school, does that mean Campus is dead? Thank y'all sm!

Cal grant

Is anybody else still waiting for their cal grant? Every time I call they say 2-3 weeks. I’m getting so frustrated. They say I’m approved but things are behind. But we’ve been in school a month now.

Parking pass

So apparently I bought the green pass but I’m a resident. I keep getting parking violations because I don’t have the resident pass. Is there a way I can switch out the green pass for a resident pass?

Can I Get Out of My Housing Plan for the Spring Semester?

Hello, I am currently a transfer student at Fresno State and transfer from my CC to Fresno this Fall. I currently live in the dorms since I have to go to class every day and didn’t want to commute. As a transfer, I also got left over classes since transfers are last to register. I was wondering since I will be able to register the same time as everyone in the Spring semester and most likely only have to go to class 2-3 times per week if I would be able to get out of my housing plan and opt out of the Spring semester? I am only able to afford housing because of scholarships and grants and I feel like housing is just not worth it if I don’t have to go to school everyday. Also, it’s just not my thing and I rather just commute.
