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.
- Articulation of courses can take time. 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.
- Students must submit
official transcripts from all institutions attended, Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) test scores to the Office of Admissions.
