Next Steps

Your NetID is your personal East Bay identification number that allows you online access to student self-service systems such as Cal State East Bay email, Blackboard, and MyCSUEB.

After submitting an application for admission, you will receive your NetID by mail with instructions for setting your personal password. Please keep your NetID and password in a safe place. For assistance or questions about NetID or resetting passwords, please visit the NetID page online or contact the servicedesk@csueastbay.edu.

After you have activated your NetID, you can set up your Horizon E-mail account. All students receive a Horizon student e-mail account. This e-mail account is where important University communication will be sent about your academic status, classes, fees, financial aid, and more. In addition, this is the e-mail address professors will use to communicate with you. It is your responsibility to check your Horizon e-mail regularly for official University notices and updates.

You can log in to your Horizon e-mail account with your NetID and password. Access and learn to use your Horizon student e-mail at http://horizon.csueastbay.edu/.

MyCSUEB is your personal student portal. Check the status of your application and see a list of your outstanding requirements, through MyCSUEB.

It is important that you check your MyCSUEB "To Do List" items regularly for items that need to be completed and submitted for your application.

If the item status indicates "initiated" that means the item is needed and action is required on your part.  You must submit all requested documents by their deadlines. 

Please allow two to four weeks for the receipt of transcripts and test scores to be recorded.

To access MyCSUEB you will need a NetID and password. 

Individual graduate departments may have additional admission standards for their programs (e.g., letters of recommendation, resumes, test scores). Contact your academic department for more information.

The University requires applicants to submit official final transcripts from all colleges and universities attended be sent to Cal State East Bay’s Office of Admissions. This includes all institutions before and after your bachelor’s degree. The Office of Admissions does not accept composite transcripts.  Courses that appear on one transcript but taken at another institution will need to have transcript sent from that original institution. If a degree is in progress, please make sure that the degree is recorded on your transcript prior to submitting your transcript to our campus.

If your graduate program also requires official transcripts, you will need to send additional copies directly to your department. 

All acceptances are conditional and contingent upon verification that all required work/degree was completed.  Be sure to submit your documents by the published Document Deadlines. View how to submit documents.

To secure a place in the entering class, admitted applicants must complete the Accept Admission Offer process prior to the start of the semester.

To do so, log in to your MyCSUEB account and select "Accept Admission" from the list of links on the left side of the page. 

Please note:  Some graduate departments have a separate "Accept Admission" process and deadline.  This is separate from the University's Accept Admission process.  Please contact your graduate department for more information.
