After Graduate Application Submission

Step-by-Step. What Next . . .

1. You will receive acknowledgement letter from CSULB Enrollment Services (3-4 weeks later).
2. You will receive notice indicating any missing transcripts and/or documents.
3. If you meet minimum CSU eligibility, your application will move into "department review" status and be forwarded to the Engineering Recruitment & Retention Center.  You will then receive an e-mail from the Engineering Recruitment & Retention Center informing you that you are in "department review".  To check on the status of pending admission, students may call the automated line at: (562) 985-2500 or send e-mail to coe-admit@csulb.edu (indicating full name, major, and CSULB ID number).
4. If you do not meet minimum CSU eligibility, then you will receive a notice indicating denial. Graduate applications that do not meet minimum CSU requirements will not be forwarded to the Engineering Recruitment & Retention Center.
5. If you are admitted, you will receive a 'notice of admission' from the Engineering Recruitment & Retention Center as early as 2-3 days from the time of admission.  You will also receive a hard-copy 'notice of admission' from Enrollment Services.
6. Admitted students will receive an e-mail from Enrollment Services indicating their enrollment appointment.
7. Admitted students should activate their MyCSULB account and familiarize themselves with online registration.
8. Admitted students should contact their Graduate Advisor for first-semester course planning or any academic advising needs.
