*UPDATED CBEST INSTRUCTIONS*

This is a requirement from the CSU Chancellor’s Office; no substitutions, exceptions, or extensions will be granted, even if you are an out-of-state applicant.

If you have an electronic file emailed to you of your CBEST scores, you may email them to nikole.dejesus@sjsu.edu in lieu of mailing them to the above address.

*UPDATE - 2/12/13* Clarification for Sending Transcripts to GAPE
You may send your transcripts to GAPE at any time, but if you want to ensure quick and efficient process, you should wait for the  form that GAPE will send you once you have submitted your CSUMentor application. Depending on when you submit your application, it can take up to 15 days for you to receive a "checklist" email that has a link to the form that you can download, or you can download the form by simply clicking on the following link: Document Identification Form. If you sent your transcripts without the Document ID form, this is okay; it is not required.
