Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent Enrollment for F-1 Students

F-1 students can "concurrently enroll", which means you can take classes at CSUEB and another U.S. school during the same semester and CIE will combine the units to count towards full time status.

Eligibility

  • You must take at least 6 units at CSUEB
  • If the course you take at the other institution is an online course, then all of your courses at CSUEB will need to be in-person or hybrid courses. 
  • You must be able to enroll at the other institution before the "last date to add" classes for that semester at CSUEB
  • The units should count towards your CSUEB degree; consult with your academic advisor to ensure the units will transfer back to CSUEB
  • The other institution must be eligible to enroll F-1 international students at their institution
  • If you are applying for concurrent enrollment during your last semester/term, you must enroll in at least one in-person or hybrid class at CSUEB in addition to the class at the other institution.
