What is impaction?
When the number of applications received by a CSU campus from qualified applicants is greater than the number of available spaces, a campus is considered “impacted” for undergraduate degree programs or for undergraduate students who apply from outside the local admission area.

- Major Impaction: There are more qualified applicants applying into the major than there are available spaces for. Some campuses may require certain major requirements to be completed before transfer for impacted majors.
- No Impaction: Campuses without the impaction designation at the program or campus level are open to all CSU eligible applicants. These campuses will only require minimum transfer requirements to be completed to be eligible for transfer. They also do not have a local area preference.
