Admissions Deadlines
An applicant’s admission process starts well before they submit an application and will continue until they are attending courses. With that in mind, the following important admission deadlines will give incoming Transfer applicants an idea of what to expect as they make their journey to becoming a Coyote at CSUSB.
All deadlines are specific to CSUSB. Failure to meet a CSUSB deadline may result in the cancellation of your application. Deadline extensions or exemptions are not granted regardless of the reason. Additional requirements and deadlines might also apply to students in unique admission situations.
