If you do not attend or decide to reapply for another term, you must resubmit your transcripts to reflect the new term. If you have attended CSUSB you are not required to submit transcripts from our own university. However you will be required to submit all other transcripts in order to have your application processed. All transcripts must be in the original sealed envelope in order to be considered official. Do not open or tamper with the seal. If your transcripts are open or tampered with, they will be considered unofficial. Starting Winter 2011, transcripts with a print date older than one year will not be accepted.
Please have all transcripts sent to the Graduate Admissions Office and not the department. If you are just graduating with your Bachelor’s degree please make sure your final transcript from that University shows your Degree posted. If the Degree is not posted, that transcript will be considered “Incomplete”.
Please Note: Contact your desired department to find out if there is a deadline.
