All incoming students will be required to submit official transcripts from every institution you have attended regardless of relevance the courses taken may have to the major you are applying to at CSUSB. This includes schools that you have current attendance. 

Students should submit their transcripts as soon as they are available but no later than Feb. 14. Additional documents, such as test scores, may also be required.

For a personalized list of your required documents, CSUSB will create a To-Do list for each student. For more information, please visit our Submitting Documents webpage.

Your admission decision is based on many factors and does not reflect your academic achievements. After being offered admission, all students must formally accept by the extended deadline of June 1 in order to secure a spot for fall enrollment. 

More information can be found on our Accept your Admission webpage.
