As you get ready to apply to the CSU, you may find that a campus or undergraduate major you are considering is "impacted," meaning there are more applications from qualified applicants than there are available spaces. If you are interested in an impacted major or campus, be sure to apply for admission during the initial filing period, October 1 to November 30.

Apply the year before you would like to attend. For example, if you intend to finish your coursework by Spring 2019, you would submit an application or apply Fall 2018.

Go to the Cal State Apply web page to begin your application.

*Meeting minimum admissions requirements will allow you to apply to the campuses and merit an application review. However, it does not necessarily mean that you will be selected or admitted to the campus.
**CSU Campuses are not always open for Spring Transfer. Go to the Cal State Apply web page for details.
