General Requirements

As an Upper Division Transfer Student, you must have completed at least 60 transferable semester units. You must also have a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade point average (GPA) based on all transferable coursework (2.4 for non-residents).

In addition to the above requirements, you must also have satisfied the four Basic Skills requirements. These requirements consist of Oral Communication, Written Communication, Critical Thinking, and College Mathematics courses completed with a grade of C or higher. Upper Division Transfer Students are expected to have completed 30 semester units of general education requirements with a grade of C or better prior to transfer. Lastly, you must be in good academic standing at your last institution of attendance (i.e.: you are eligible to regularly enroll and not disqualified). All requirements must be completed by the Spring term prior to Fall admission or Summer term prior to Spring admission.

Use the Transfer Planner on CSU Mentor to track your progress. (You will be required to create a free account on CSU Mentor to use this service.)

Transcript Requirements

Upper division transfer applicants are not required to submit ACT/SAT scores or High School transcripts. If you have taken an Advanced Placement exam or International Baccalaureate exam, you are encouraged to submit an official score report so that we can evaluate the score for applicable college credit. You must submit transcripts from all college and university institutions you have previously attended.
