Future Students
Freshmen
If you have not yet applied to CSULB, you should do so
by obtaining an application from CSULB Enrollment Services or apply
on line via the CSU Mentor
website. See our web site on tests and testing
information for entering students. After admission to CSULB,
freshman students are advised first in SOAR
in July and August. Freshmen are then advised in the University's Mandatory
Advising Program during their first semester for second semester schedules.
Transfer
Students
CSULB welcomes transfer students from many kinds of institutions
of higher education. Transfer students arrive from California Community
Colleges, other California State Universities, the University of
California campuses, private institutions, out-of-state colleges
and universities, and colleges and universities from all over the
world.
Different CSULB rules
apply to transfer students depending on when and where the transfer(s)
took place. As of fall 2003, a new CSULB policy impacting
transfer students is in place. Specifically, transfer students
must be admitted to a major, students applying to majors that are
not impacted will be admitted to the University if they meet all
admission requirements, students applying to impacted majors must
file applications during the initial filing period (October 1 -
November 30) and must meet all supplemental admission criteria for
the designated major. Further, students who do not qualify for admissions
to the preferred impacted major may be admitted to an alternate
on the application, otherwise they will not be admitted to the University.
After entering the University, students who are admitted to non-impacted majors may reapply, one time, to the impacted major of their choice. There is no limit on requests to change to a major that
is not impacted. CSULB strives to make the transfer process
as clear and uncomplicated as possible. Please check the Transfer
section of our FAQ and our Transfer
Students page for more information pertaining to the transfer
process.

Adult Reentry Students
As an alternative to regular admission criteria, an applicant
who is 25 years of age or older may be considered for admission
as an adult student if he or she meets the conditions specified
in the CSULB
Catalog. We are happy to provide special services to adult
reentry students. You may also visit Enrollment
Services' adult reentry online information, or call their offices
at (562) 985-5471.
We are pleased to schedule
appointments with adult reentry students after the student provides
us with transcripts from all colleges attended. Upon receipt of
these transcripts from the student, an appointment with an academic
advisor can be scheduled for a week later. Please call (562)
985-4837 for an appointment.
Various CSULB policies impact transfer students from California Community Colleges and the California State University system. Transfer students from these systems should make appointments with University Center for Undergraduate Advising advisors to ensure a seamless transfer process of their courses.
