Cal State Apply - Transfer Students

To make yourself most competitive, you should complete the above requirements:
a. No later than the end of the spring prior to your admissions in the fall,
b. No later than the end of summer prior to your admissions in the following spring semester or winter quarter
 

Students transferring to CSU have the option of completing the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education (CSUGE) Certification Pattern.

Students transferring with certification of general education requirements are assured that they have met up to 39 of the 48-unit minimum requirements for the bachelor's degree. Students transferring without certification of general education must complete the pattern of courses required of at the CSU campus. 

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you meet the above deadlines; however, campuses may vary with these deadlines so please see your counselor!

Cal State Apply - Application Dates and Deadlines - to see if a campus is still accepting applications, scroll to the bottom "Is Your Campus Still Accepting Applications?" and then choose Entry Level: Upper Division Transfer" and Enrollment Term you plan to begin.

Courses taken at the community college may be used to satisfy general education requirements for graduation from CSU schools. However, such courses must be specifically identified and verified by the community college before they will be recognized by the CSU campus. This process is called certification. Students who complete all of the requirements in Areas A through E of the CSU General Education Certification Pattern are considered to be fully certified by the community college. It should be pointed out that in addition to the community college coursework at least three more general education courses must be completed in the junior/senior years at the CSU campus.

CSU certification must be requested by students when the request for sending their final transcript to the CSU campus is made.

COMMunity and Academic Pathways for Student Success CAPSS helps first-time transfer students complete their degree in two years by:

• Placing students in cohorts to create a sense of connection and belonging on campus.

• Creating an accountability plan for graduation within two years or less.

•  Placing students in one of two academic pathways relevant to their career aspirations: The “Applied” pathway is for students who are interested in corporate work (e.g., marketing, human resources); The “Advocacy” pathway is for those interested in non-profit and social justice work (e.g., education, law).

• Providing each student with personalized advising, including course schedules throughout their time at CSUN.

• Reserving seats and facilitating enrollment for participating students. This helps ensure students will not have to delay graduation because they could not get a COMS class they need to graduate. 

• Providing a combination of online and face-to-face courses for optimal flexibility to manage outside responsibilities (e.g., work and family).

• Offering regular and frequent advising to progress toward the degree.

• Providing faculty mentorship for CAPSS students to cultivate relationships with their faculty, staff, peers, and administrators.

• Offering regular and frequent access to academic services (i.e., tutoring, study groups) to help students maintain good grades.

 In order to be eligible you must meet the following criteria:

• Accepted to attend CSUN in the Fall

• Be a Communication Studies major

• Be a first-time transfer student

• Hold and maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.2 or higher

• Be willing to take courses assigned by CAPSS advisers (including summer and winter, if needed); attend community-building and career coaching events; and attend advising sessions with advisers.

• Students will participate in mandatory community-building and career coaching events, as well as advising sessions throughout the academic year. Participating in these events and advising sessions are key to community building and academic success. There are usually three events in a given semester.

More information about the program, including frequently asked questions and the online application can be found below and on our CAPSS website. Applications are due May 10th.
