Local Area Preference
Beginning Fall 2013, CSULB will determine which freshmen and transfer applicants will receive “Local Preference” for admission consideration based on their high school of graduation. The same geographic boundaries that have been previously used to determine local area high schools for freshmen will remain in place. These will now be used to determine local preference for incoming transfers as well. As part of our commitment to provide access to veterans, CSULB will give “Local Preference” to all military veterans regardless of their school of origin. See the appropriate admission page for information on how the Local Preference is used in the admission process:
