Advising & Registration for Transfer Students
Welcome and congratulations to our newly admitted CSUF College of Engineering & Computer Science (ECS) transfer students!
ECS is excited to welcome you and support you as you start your academic journey with us. Next steps to keep in mind after you have accepted your admission:
- Attend a virtual ECS Advising Informational Session between May 20th–30th based on your major (check your CSUF email for the invititation to sign up)
- Register for your Fall 2025 courses based on your assigned Enrollment Appointment (this is your assigned date and time to register on your own)
- Sign-up for and complete university Orientation
CHECKLIST FOR Transfer Students:
Titan Degree Audit (TDA)
Transfer students are encouraged to review the following videos:
New ECS Transfer Student Advising Informational Sessions
Sign up for an ECS Mandatory Group Advising Informational Session
- You will receive a separate email invitation from ECS Advising to schedule your session – use the link in the email to schedule your session through TitanNet (Navigate); please check both your personal and CSUF email.
- These sessions will be held virtually in a group format between May 20th and May 30th based on major; due to staffing constraints, we are unable to accommodate individual appointment requests at this time.
IMPORTANT: you currently have a registration hold on your record and must attend an ECS Group Advising Informational Session to have your “College/Dept Advising Required” hold released – you will be unable to register for fall courses if you do not attend a session and have the advising hold released
- Class registration for new incoming Fall 2025 transfer students begins Monday, June 16. Please plan accordingly!
CSUF Transfer Student Orientation
Orientation is a CSUF required component for all incoming students separate from the advising process. You may choose to complete orientation in-person OR online. You must complete ONE of the options to satisfy the orientation requirement prior to starting the Spring semester.

Helpful Tips for Transfer Students
- Check your CSUF e-mail frequently. The University, college, and departments throughout campus will use this as a common mode of communication.
- Transcript evaluations and articulation of courses can take time, please be patient. It is recommended that final transcripts from all community colleges be requested and received by CSUF so that coursework can be articulated as soon as possible. This can limit prerequisites from being applied that may not allow for registration in certain courses at CSUF.
- Transfer students can consult with the Graduation Specialist in the ECS Student Success Center or their academic department for options if prerequisites have not yet been applied to the Titan Degree Audit. Permit requests can be submitted to individual ECS departments using the links above.
- Use ASSIST to view articulation agreements between CSUF and California Community Colleges. The agreements show how course credits earned at California Community Colleges are transferable or articulated to California State University, Fullerton. If there is no articulation agreement in place for courses completed at other institutions, students will need to request course by course articulations from the respective department.
- Students must submit original Advanced Placement (AP) test scores to the Office of Admissions.
