Congratulations on submitting your application!

Even though you will not hear back immediately on whether you have been admitted or not, make sure to check the email that you put in as your email in the application.

The campuses will keep in contact with you through your email for the time being. You should hear back within a few weeks of submitting your application. These emails wills give you access to the portals and your student ID number for the campuses you applied to.

Do not see an email? Check your spam and make sure to slowly go through each email that is sent to you from the campus.

• Still do not see the email? If it has been a few weeks and you still have not heard, reach out to the University Transfer Center and we will help you figure out what to do!

How do I order partial transcripts?

Check your CSU portals to see if they are requesting “partial” transcripts. The term “partial” means that you are still attending the college and have not completed your courses, yet. However, if the CSU is requesting “partial” transcripts, you must order them officially through Admissions and Records by selecting “transcripts”. This may apply to AP scores and other colleges attended.

• Submit your G by September 15^th 

Do you have AP scores?

• If you put AP scores in the application, the university will be asking for these. You must send the scores directly from College Board to the university. If you do not do this, it could hinder your admission into the university.

Did you attend multiple colleges?

FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opens October 1^st. You need to submit this application by March 2^ndso you can be eligible for California Grants. These grants help to pay for your tuition at the four-year universities and you do not have to pay them back.

• Apply at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
• Unsure how to fill out the application, contact the Financial Aid Department to make an appointment.

Were you denied admission from the campus you applied to?

• Most denial emails provide instructions and a link to put in an appeal.
• If you decide to submit an appeal, most universities give you less than 15 business days to do so. Appeals usually consist of completing an online form and uploading documents. It is a quick process, but please reach out to the University Transfer Center as soon as you receive the notification, so we can help you.

 Can I still apply if denied?

• Absolutely! Both the Cal States and UCs have their applications open until November 30^th. You can attend a workshop for additional help, and even set up an appointment to speak with a Transfer Counselor.
• You must accept a UC by paying for the deposit. This can be called a Statement of Intent to Register (SIR), Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD), etc. Terms and deposits vary depending on campus.
• You must accept a CSU by paying for the deposit. This can be called a Statement of Intent to Register (SIR), Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD), etc. Terms and deposits vary depending on campus.
• Meet with a Counselor in the University Transfer Center or General Counseling if there were changes to your spring or you need to take classes in the summer. Do not wait until the end! This could jeopardize your admission.
• Meet with a university representative from one of our local schools to see what classes will be accepted and to answer any questions you may have about the campus.

Has the university asked for Final Transcripts?

• Dates vary depending on campus.
• When you order your official transcripts, make sure to select the “CSU GE Certification” or “IGETC GE Certification” to be attached to the transcripts. This will help you tremendously at the four-year university.
