  <<NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY>>

  The California State University does not discriminate on
  the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, physical
  handicap or sexual orientation in the educational programs
  or activities it conducts.

  << INSTRUCTIONS >>

  An instruction line is located at the top of each screen to remind 
  you about available features.  Basic instructions for each question
  are located at the bottom of the screen in red, while more in depth 
  information for each question may be obtained by pressing F1. 

  This current set of instructions is always available for you to 
  review from the main menu.  If you are in the middle of the 
  application, return to the main menu by pressing ESC, then select 
  the option for instructions.
  << ENTERING DATA >>
  
  Information such as your name and address need to be entered in
  upper and lower case where appropriate.  Other fields in the
  application will automatically be accepted in upper case by the
  computer.  When you enter dates, make sure  you put a zero in the
  first position of a month or day if it is less than 10
  (i.e. 09/02/75).  The BACKSPACE or DEL (Delete) keys allow you to
  erase any mistakes you might make while typing.  
  
  << MOVING AROUND THE SCREEN >>
  
  After you have entered data into a field, press the ENTER or RETURN
  key to advance to the next question.  If you would like to go back
  to a previous field, use the arrow keys in the direction that you
  need to go.  To skip back and forth through the screens, use the
  PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys.  You will not be able to advance to the
  next screen unless all mandatory fields have been completed.
  
  << POP UP WINDOWS >>
  
  The computer will validate certain answers that you give.  If you
  enter information that the computer won't accept, a window will pop
  up to display a list of acceptable choices.  You have the ability
  to call the window up before you enter anything into the field by 
  pressing F2. Watch the instructions at the bottom of the screen to
  indicate this feature.
  
  Scroll through the window with the directional arrows or use the
  PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys.  To find your selection more quickly,
  you can type the first letter of your response.  Once your answer
  is highlighted, press the ENTER or RETURN key.  To exit the window
  without making a selection on an optional field, press ESC.

  << EXITING/SAVING THE APPLICATION >>
  
  To exit the application at any time, press the ESC key to return 
  to the main menu, and select the option to exit.

  The computer will automatically save the application upon exiting,
  but will let you know if there is required information missing.  
  The CSU will NOT accept any partial applications.  Please make sure 
  that you complete the entire application before sending it in to be 
  processed.
  
  << APPLYING TO MORE THAN ONE CAMPUS >>
  
  It is easy to apply to more than one campus because you only need 
  to answer a few campus specific questions.  Make sure you have a 
  blank formatted disk for each additional CSU you would like to apply 
  to.  You will also need a check or money order in the amount of $55 
  to be included with each disk (if you did not pass the fee waiver).
