Get A Head Start On Your CSUDH Experience!
It's important to understand how ready you are for college. Although they may have passed all your high school courses, many students are still not yet prepared for freshman-level college English and math when they enter a university. This is true even for students with strong high school grade point averages.
What You Need To Know To Be Ready
To help high school students get ready for university coursework and life, the State Board of Education (SBE), the California Department of Education (CDE), and the 好色先生 (CSU) joined to develop the Early Assessment Program (EAP). Through this program, California public high school juniors and seniors have the opportunity to:
- Find out how ready they are for college-level English and math classes, early enough to do something about it!
- Spend a year building their skills in these subjects
- Start their CSUDH experience strong
Expository Reading and Writing Curriculum (ERWC)
CSUDH host workshops throughout the academic school year for the Introductory 3.0 Workshop. New teachers can complete the 4-Day series Workshop to gain ERWC Certification.

Academic Preparation and Placement
Getting Started With EAP
Participation in EAP is free and easy. To get started, you'll be asked to take the CAASPP test, administered to 11th graders during the spring semester at California high schools. When taking the CAASPP, make sure you select the option to release your scores to the CSU. Releasing your scores will save you from having to contact each CSU you apply to and submitting CAASPP results to their offices of Admissions & Recruitment. Learn More
To learn how you can prepare for the EAP, visit the CSU SUCCESS website. There, you'll find online tutorials, free practice problems, essay prompts, and more to help you get ready for the EAP test and meet CSU English and mathematics requirements.
Understanding Your EAP Results
Make It Count
In spring of your junior year, you participated in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) in English Language Arts/Literacy and mathematics. Your school may provide you with your CAASPP and EAP results within 2-4 weeks, after all schools in the district have completed testing. This report indicates how you performed on the grade eleven CAASPP.
Learn Your EAP Status Now
The earlier you know your EAP status during your senior year of high school, the sooner you can start preparing and building the skills you'll need for CSU English and mathematics courses. It's a good idea to find out about your CAASPP EAP status as soon as you can.
What Do Your Results Mean?
The CAASPP overall score can be used to provide an early indicator of your readiness for college-level coursework.
