How to Apply

Apply to the University

Submit an application for University admission online via Cal State Apply and pay the $70 nonrefundable application fee. Please note, if applying to a future term, any past due application fees are still required and must be paid prior to enrollment in classes. Save the application submission confirmation page for your records. Be advised that applicants may not apply for more than one program or term at the same time.

DO NOT SEND TRANSCRIPTS TO THE OFFICE OF ADMISSION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION ON CAL STATE APPLY.

Request official final transcripts from all colleges and universities attended be sent to Cal State East Bay’s Office of Admission. This includes all institutions before and after your bachelor’s degree. If your graduate program also requires official transcripts, you will need to send additional copies directly to your department.

Be sure to submit your documents by the published Document Deadlines. View how to submit documents.

Apply to a Graduate Program

Contact your academic department for individual program requirements, admission terms, deadlines, and instructions on where to send departmental documents. Not all graduate programs accept applications for every term.

Once the application has been reviewed by both the university and the graduate program, the applicant will be notified of the admission decision via mail and MyCSUEB.
