Frequently Asked Questions:
Applicants can attend multiple community colleges; however, a student can only apply to one program and have one Transfer Success Pathway agreement.
If a student decides to change to another campus or program in the future, they must submit a request for release and allow time for the campus to review. Students can request to cancel their agreement at any time. However, the ability to select another campus or major is only during the enrollment period between August 1 and September 30, 2024.
If a student requests to be released from their original agreement, they can elect to do an agreement with another campus or program provided it is within the filing period for an agreement. If a student is deemed to be ineligible for the Transfer Success Pathway program by any campus, they will not be able to enter into any agreement with any other CSU campus and those students will not be able to utilize CSU Transfer Planner.
Once a student has entered into an agreement for one of CSULB's program, unfortunately the program selection cannot be changed to another CSULB program.
Please be aware that not every degree program at CSULB is eligible for the Transfer Success Pathway. If a program you are interested in is not listed in the "Available Degree Programs" section on this page, you are invited to apply through the standard application pathway for transfer students.
