Not all CSU campuses accept applications every term, and some deadlines may be extended for selected majors or campuses.

Students applying to a CSU should use Cal State Apply. When searching for transfer options, select Upper Division Transfer and confirm the correct term. Students who are veterans or international students should review any additional application instructions.

The Transfer Center can help students understand CSU requirements, review transfer plans, and prepare their application. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor before they apply.

Each CSU campus may offer its own scholarships, transfer support services, and major-specific resources. Review the campus website and speak with a counselor for guidance.
