Fall 2013 Transfer Admission Selection Process Admit (except for "Highly Impacted" majors): those considered "local"

based on their high school of graduation or their military veteran status and have met the minimum major cumulative GPA and required lower-division preparation.

Admit: those on a space-available basis who are not considered "local," but have met the major-specific minimum cumulative GPA and the minimum required lower-division major preparation.

If space is available, CSU eligible students without the minimum major preparation will then be considered.

Consider to admit all others, if the applicant agrees to complete recommended CSULB transfer requirements in their first year at CSULB.

Highly Impacted Majors: admitted based on completion of all posted

additional supplemental criteria and requirements. No local preference.
