Campus life

The California state legislature established Stanislaus State College in 1957 as the fifteenth campus of the California State University (CSU) system. Classes commenced in September 1960 in temporary quarters located at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds in Turlock. The college moved to its permanent 228-acre site in 1965 following construction of its first major facilities. The Classroom Building housed facilities for art, music, drama, and the sciences in addition to providing classrooms for lectures. The library, a companion project to the Classroom Building, was later named the Vasche Library in memory of the university's founding president, Dr. J. Burton Vasche. 

Sports facilities

The Intramural Sports Program at Stanislaus State has a unique format designed to allow the participant to participate in multiple sports during each semester. We conduct multiple sports leagues for six weeks at a time concurrently between the start of the semester until the end of the semester.  We then hold the playoffs and championship games for those sports at various times prior to the end of the semester.  This allows the participants to play multiple sports during the course of the semester.
