International Admissions Forms
Access the forms below if they apply to your individual situation.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of your student education records and limits the University's ability to release information about your student account.
In accordance with FERPA, Cal State San Bernardino cannot release information related to your academic records, tuition and fees, financial aid, billing, or other student record information to a third party—including parents, spouses, sponsors, or other individuals—without your written authorization.
If you would like the International Admissions Office to discuss your student record with a parent, spouse, sponsor, or another designated individual, please complete the FERPA Authorization form below.
Completed form should be emailed to international@csusb.edu.
Have you changed your academic goals since being admitted to CSUSB? Newly admitted undergraduate students may use this form to request a change of major before the start of their first semester.
If you are already enrolled at CSUSB, major changes must be submitted through the Office of the Registrar.
As part of the admissions process, F-1 and J-1 applicants must demonstrate that they have sufficient financial resources to support their studies at CSUSB. The Documentation of Financial Support form helps us determine your eligibility to receive a Form I-20 or DS-2019.
Depending on how your education will be funded, you may need to submit:
- Financial documentation for yourself
- Financial documentation from a private sponsor (such as a family member, friend, employer, or private organization)
- Financial documentation from a government or sponsoring agency
Official bank statements must be dated within the last six months and include an official bank signature and/or bank seal.
Want to get a head start on your CSUSB experience? The Early Summer Starter (ESS) program allows eligible newly admitted fall transfer students to begin taking courses during the summer before starting the fall semester.
To be eligible, you must:
- Be admitted for the upcoming fall term
- Be transferring from a U.S. institution
- Not be enrolled in summer courses at another institution
Please note:
- Final official transcripts must be received before your application can be processed.
- Your fall admission must be finalized before enrollment.
- CSUSB does not issue Form I-20s for the summer term.
Application Period
- Applications Open: March 18
- Application Deadline: May 30
Completed applications should be emailed to international@csusb.edu.
Need to make changes to your graduate application or academic program? The forms below can help, depending on where you are in the admissions process.
Graduate Application Correction Form: For newly admitted graduate students who need to correct information on their application before the census date. After the census date, a new application is required.
Change of Program Application (COPA): For continuing graduate students who wish to change concentrations within the same program or remove a second enrolled program. Students wishing to change to a different graduate program must submit a new application.
If you're unsure which form applies to your situation, please contact international@csusb.edu before submitting your request.
If your application for admission to CSUSB was denied, you may submit an appeal for reconsideration. Appeals must be submitted within 15 days of the date your admission decision was emailed by the International Admissions Office.
To be considered, your appeal must include all required documentation. Incomplete appeals will not be reviewed.

Interested in taking classes at CSUSB without pursuing a degree? The Non-Degree Seeking Student Application is designed for students who wish to enroll in courses for personal, professional, or academic enrichment.
Non-degree seeking students may attend CSUSB for up to two academic terms. Students who wish to continue beyond two terms must apply through Cal State Apply and meet the admission requirements for a degree-seeking program.
To apply, please submit the following:
- Financial statement
- Copy of your passport
- Proof of English proficiency (visit our English Proficiency page for accepted exams)
Recommended: Official transcripts are not required but are encouraged, as they can be helpful during academic advising.

All applicants, regardless of citizenship, may be required to demonstrate proof of English language proficiency if they do not have a degree from an institution where the primary language of instruction is English.
If you are a graduate applicant and believe you qualify for an English proficiency waiver, you may submit the Request to Waive English Proficiency Requirement form for review by the International Admissions Office.
If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact international@csusb.edu.
Transferring to CSUSB from another U.S. institution? Newly admitted transfer students in F-1 status must complete the F-1 SEVIS Record Transfer Form to transfer their SEVIS record to CSUSB.
