CSUF Admissions sent you an email with instructions to accept your admission to the university. Make sure you accept and pay the deposit fee of $250. If you do not accept your admission, you will not be able to register for classes.  

2.  Handbook acknowledgement 

Please read the   MSCP Handbook and submit your signed acknowledgement.   Teacher candidates are held to these standards from Day 1.  Candidates who do not meet the expectations outlined will be placed on a "Teacher Candidate Improvement Plan."  Once you have read the handbook, please initial and sign the Handbook Acknowledgement, save as PDF with your edits, and submit to edelsa@fullerton.edu   with subject "Handbook- your name - credential or combined" (e.g. Handbook- Patricia Feliz- credential)
