As the application process of prospective first-year and transfer students to Cal State San Bernardino is currently open through Dec. 4, the university is offering a number of steps to help in the process.

The CSUSB Office of Admissions is hosting special Fall ’21 workshops each Monday in November and on the application closing date of Dec. 4, where students will be updated about the process and the necessary steps to complete their applications.

The workshops will also offer information about financial aid as the university’s financial aid wellness coordinator will be available at each application workshop to answer queries regarding the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form and general financial aid questions.

To register for the Fall ’21 workshops, visit the CSUSB Admissions Operation webpage. 

“The Office of Admissions at CSUSB is committed to excellence in service to our students and community. The Admissions staff work with and for students at all points of their educational journey by connecting them with the resources to earn a college education,” said Lisa Rubio, director of Admissions Operations, Admissions & Student Recruitment. “By reviewing admission eligibility, providing admission advising, and helping students find their path, the Office of Admissions is the critical entry point on a student’s journey to becoming a #Coyote4Life.”

“Our team works diligently to ensure that prospective students have access to information and a contact at CSUSB that they can speak to at any point in the process to ensure a seamless transition into CSUSB,” Rubio said.

The university is also hosting two on-campus virtual events in October where prospective undergraduates, transfer students and their families can find out what makes CSUSB one of the outstanding and unique campuses in the California State University system and the state.

  • CSUSB Preview – Saturday, Oct. 17, noon-2:30 p.m. – Virtual via Zoom webinar – An exclusive event for high school juniors and seniors and their families, where they will learn what Cal State San Bernardino is all about including admission requirements, academic programs and financial aid, virtually tour the beautiful CSUSB campus, hear about student life, academic support programs, and more!

As a reminder for fall 2021, first-time freshmen, the California State University (CSU) has temporarily suspended the use of ACT/SAT examinations in determining admission eligibility for all CSU campuses for the 2021-22 academic year. But due to this change, students need to carefully review both the CSU main website as well as the CSUSB Admissions webpage with information for prospective students and parents regarding the Fall 2021 Admission requirements.
