Current SSU undergraduates and postbac/graduate can take prerequisite/co-requisite coursework without being admitted to a Credential program.
Post baccalaureate/Graduate applicants who wish to be admitted to SSU to take prerequisites/co-requisites only (prior to beginning a Credential program) may do so by applying as Graduate Student/Post-baccalaureate to the University via: www.csumentor.edu. Applicants should indicate they are applying to a Credential program and in the essay portion of the application, write a statement along the lines of “I wish to be admitted to SSU to take prerequisites/co-requisites for a Credential Program”.
