To maintain the quality of CSULB’s academic programs and services, supplemental admission criteria will be applied to transfer applicants. All transfer applicants must apply during the initial filing period: October 1- November 30 for Fall transfer and August 1-31 for Spring transfer. All transfer applicants must apply to a specific major. For updates on transfer admission requirements and deadlines, students should refer to the transfer admissions requirements
