Create and Submit Your Application Via Cal State Apply

• Review our general and program-specific admissions requirements.

• Gather your transcripts from the colleges or universities where you have been enrolled.

• Contact our enrollment counselors so we can assist you with reviewing courses from your previous schools and with completing the Cal State Apply application process.

• If needed, view the 2023-2024 Cal State Apply Transfer Application Guide or view the Cal State Apply FAQs for help with many common Cal State Apply questions.

• If you are a current SJSU student, you will need to withdraw from your on-campus program and reapply directly to SJSU Online through Cal State Apply; you are unable to transfer into SJSU Online programs from SJSU in-person programs. Discuss this plan with your academic advisor before deciding whether to withdraw and reapply.
