Are there any exceptions to A-G foreign language requirements?

I am pretty sure that the CSU application will be flagged about missing the FL requirement before you submit and you would have to override the exception (if possible). I would contact a couple of the Cal states to ask about a waiver if applicable or other alternatives. Since you came here from the Philippines, ask about any exceptions and get the information in writing from the CSU.

Which campuses are you targeting?

Foreign Language is a requirement so unless you can fulfill it by one of the alternate methods, your application will be rejected/withdrawn.

Another alternative is to attend a community college for 2 years and then transfer. All California CC’s have articulation agreements with the CSU’s and UC’s so there is a proven pathway for admission.

Many successful students have utilized the transfer pathway by choice.
