After you Apply

Cal State East Bay uses self-reported information and a review of partial transcripts with in-progress coursework to determine initial admission eligibility. All initial admission offers are conditional and contingent upon the completion of in-progress coursework and final review of all admission requirements, including evaluation of all official transcripts.  

Most applications meet the conditions of admission but occasionally some may not.

Common reasons are:  

• Failure to meet document deadlines (link to document deadlines)  
• Failure to meet the admission requirements (Freshman) (Transfer)
• Failure to meet published admissions requirements, such as:  

– Official final transcripts that do not reflect the courses and grades indicated on your admission application  

– Failure to complete planned or in-progress courses  listed on your admission application 

– Your cumulative grade point average falling below the required minimum

csueastbay.edu/deadlines

Please refer to the transfer student application deadlines for partial and final transcript deadlines

Request that your institution send electronic transcripts to accelerate processing time.  Previously opened, scanned transcripts or transcripts emailed directly from students are considered unofficial and cannot be used to fulfill admission requirements and evaluated for transfer credit. Only transcripts sent directly from the institutions or a 3rd party vendor on behalf of the institutions are accepted.

The Office of Admissions does not accept composite transcripts. Courses that appear on one transcript but were taken at another institution are invalid.  Student will need to have transcript sent from that original institution.  

Institutions that can send official transcripts electronically may send them to electronictranscripts@csueastbay.edu.

Official documents in sealed envelopes can be delivered in-person to the Enrollment Information Center in the Student  Services and Administration building on the Hayward campus or at the Academic Services Center on the Concord campus.  They can also be mailed to:

Office of Admissions
Cal State East Bay
25800 Carlos Bee Blvd.
Hayward, CA 94542

It may take up to three weeks to process your document and for your “To-Do List” items in your MyCSUEB account to be updated. Avoid delays — apply early, and submit documents as soon as possible in the approved format.
