Transfer Admission
Admission Requirements for Fall 2009
Due to enrollment demand, effective Fall 2009, CSULB will implement competitive admissions for the transfer class.
CSULB continues to be a high-demand campus and expects to receive more applications than can be accommodated. To maintain the academic quality of CSULB programs and services, supplemental admissions criteria will be applied to transfer applicants. All transfer applicants must apply during the initial filing period (October 1 – November 30). Upper-division transfer applicants must apply to a specific major. To be considered in the competitive round of admission consideration, transfer applicants must have successfully completed all minimum CSU admission criteria.
Who is a Transfer applicant?
You are considered a transfer applicant if you have completed coursework at a college or university since leaving high school, but have not yet completed a Bachelor's degree.
How do I qualify as a lower-division transfer applicant?
You are considered a lower-division transfer student if you will have completed less than 60 transferable semester units or 90 transferable quarter units by the end of the prior Summer term for Fall entrance or the prior Fall term for Spring entrance.
Lower-division transfer remains closed for all but two areas. The University will consider lower-division applicants from a limited number of highly-qualified Nursing and Engineering students.See information below.
How do I qualify as an upper-division transfer applicant?
As an upper-division transfer student, you must also meet the following requirements to be considered for admission:
... Apply to a specific major. If applying to an impacted major, you are encouraged to designate an alternate major for consideration in case you are not admitted to the impacted major. If you list an alternate major, you must be willing to pursue that major if you are not admitted to your first-choice major. [Note: If applying to a business major, the alternate major must be in another area since the entire College of Business is impacted.]
... Have a minimum, overall college GPA of 2.00 or higher in all transferable college course work attempted. Non-residents must have a minimum GPA of 2.40.
... Be in good standing at the last college or university attended in a regular session.
... Complete 60 transferable semester units or 90 transferable quarter units by the end of the prior Summer term for Fall entrance or the prior Fall term for Spring entrance.
... Complete a minimum of 30 semester units or 45 quarter units in courses approved to meet CSU General Education (GE) requirements.
... Completed with a grade of 'C' or better by the end of the prior Spring term for Fall admission or by the end of the prior Summer term for Spring admission the CSU GE requirements in Written Communication, Oral Communication, Critical Thinking and Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning.
... Applicants who meet these criteria must also meet the supplemental criteria published.
Applicants to non-impacted majors who meet the minimum CSU criteria as outlined above will be considered in the competitive round. Admission offers will be based on the applicants' overall transfer grade point average and space availability. Applicants to non-impacted majors who are transferring directly from Long Beach City College and have completed at least 30 units at LBCC are eligible for the Long Beach Promise and will be held to the minimum CSU criteria listed above.
