International Freshmen and Transfer Application Checklist


All international applicants must declare a major at the time of application. Visit our Academic Programs list to explore undergraduate majors.

Undergraduate applicants (freshmen and transfer) – If you have attended school in the U.S., you will be asked to enter your U.S. coursework on your Cal State Apply application. If you attended school outside of the U.S., you will not need to enter your coursework. However, you will be asked to mail a copy of such international transcripts so that we may assess your academic profile.

Applicants are encouraged to review the following helpful resources when completing the Cal State Apply application.

General Information

Before you ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, we recommend that you carefully review the ½ûÂþÌìÌà International Freshmen admission requirements to be considered. Admission into ½ûÂþÌìÌà is competitive as we have more qualified applicants than we can admit. ½ûÂþÌìÌà will consider you for admissions to your alternate major if space is available, but cannot guarantee consideration for your alternate major/program. We prioritize applicants within the same academic college. Students who have been admitted should review the Next Steps Checklist
