Next Steps
- Check your email regularly! You should get an email from CalStateApply immediately after submitting your application.
- Within a week of submitting your application, you should receive an email from the CSU campus. This email usually gives you instructions on setting up a student account with their campus, which includes a new email address. Start checking this email regularly! If you don't receive an email from the CSU campus, call their admissions office to confirm that they received your application.
- Be aware of transcript deadlines. The CSU will need 2 transcripts from SCCCD: one will be due now and one will be due at the end of the Spring semester. Every CSU that you apply to will need a set of transcripts from each college you've attended and transcripts for any test credit such as AP, IB or CLEP.
- Once admitted you will need to accept your conditional admission.
- Each CSU may have different requirements and deadlines. Be sure to check your email regularly and stay on top of this information!
