style='color:black'> </span></font>While most CSU's will accept the December

UC's will continue to accept the December test<font color=black><span

SAT Subject Test scores from<font color=black><span style='color:black'> </span></font>applicants,
some programs "recommend" that you take them (e.g.<font color=black><span

SENDING TEST SCORES TO CSU CAMPUSES:<br>
SAT - Once you have taken the SAT test, you should list the CSUMentor<font

CSUMentor can store your scores for any CSU<br>
campus to retrieve. The CSUMentor institution code for the SAT is<font
color=black><span style='color:black'> </span></font><b><span style='font-weight:
bold'>3594.</span></b><br>
<br>
ACT - If you have listed a CSU campus as an ACT score report<font color=black><span
style='color:black'> </span></font>recipient, you can use the ACT Scores
Manager to release your score to<br>
additional campuses. Before you can use the ACT Scores Manager, you<font
color=black><span style='color:black'> </span></font>must first have arranged
for your scores to be sent to a CSU campus.<br>
If you have not yet arranged for your ACT scores to be sent to a CSU<font
color=black><span style='color:black'> </span></font>campus, you can learn how
to request this at<br>

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is designed to improve<font
color=black><span style='color:black'> </span></font>access and retention of
historically low-income and educationally<br>
disadvantaged students. An EOP student has the potential and<font color=black><span

satisfactorily at a CSU, but has<br>
not been able to realize this potential because of economic or<font
color=black><span style='color:black'> </span></font>educational background.
The program provides admission and academic<br>
assistance to EOP-eligible undergraduate students. In many cases, the<font
color=black><span style='color:black'> </span></font>program offers financial
assistance to eligible students. Campuses<br>
tailor their programs to accommodate the needs of their student<font

<i><span style='font-style:italic'>Who May Apply?</span></i><br>
Only historically low-income and educationally disadvantaged<font color=black><span

assistance and support<br>
services to succeed in college are admitted to EOP. They must<font color=black><span

motivation, be <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">California</st1:State></st1:place>
