New Student-Athlete Checklist for Transfer Students

There are a few steps to follow in order to have a successful transition to CSULB:

1. University Application:

Contact the Head Coach and/or Recruiting Coordinator for your sport. Submit your university application on-line at csumentor . Include your $55 Application Fee or Fee Waiver. Contact the Head Coach and/or Recruiting Coordinator if you have questions about your Admission Status.
You can also check the status of your application at any time by calling the university's automated system at (562) 985-2500. You will need your nine-digit student identification number.

2. Placement Tests:

Take the English Placement Test (EPT) and/or the Entry Level Mathematics Test (ELM) before the June test date or provide proof of exemption. We advise you to take this exam early so that you receive your score prior to attending SOAR.
Exemption from the EPT is granted if you score: 550 or higher on SAT Verbal, 24 or higher on ACT English Test, or a 3 or higher on Advanced Placement Exam (Language and Composition or Literature and Composition).
Exemption from the ELM is granted if you score: 550 or higher on the SAT Mathematics (Level I, IC, II or IIC), 23 or higher on the ACT Mathematics Test, or a 3 or higher on Advanced Placement Exam (Mathematics Calculus AB or BC or Statistics).

3. Official Transcripts:

Send Official High School Transcripts (if applicable - check with Recruiting Coordinator) and/or all College Transcripts to both the NCAA Eligibility Center (see link below) and CSULB.

Once you have been admitted to the university, you may register for Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR).
Contact BAC to coordinate your SOAR date.

6. Financial Aid (non-athletic aid):
