​After completing all these steps, you will wait for admission decisions! While waiting, we encourage students to get to know the campus they want to commit to. Try visiting and touring all the campuses you're considering, ask questions, explore the departments, and talk to current students, faculty, and staff.

Attend our Transfer Decision Workshops:

We’ll help you gather insights to further your research and make an informed decision about which university is the best fit for you. You'll receive tools to compare campuses side by side, including a decision matrix to evaluate key factors.​ 

March-May - Accept your admission offer and sign up for orientation with the CSU campus. Every campus has a different date for the "intent to register" and process, so check those emails for directions!

May-June - send the final official COS transcripts to the campus you accepted.
