Filing your application for admission is the last step in the transfer process.  It is critical that your application be filled out accurately and within the application deadlines.  There is normally a one-month window of time for applications to be submitted to the UC and CSU systems for each specific semester or quarter. Visit our Dates and Deadlines page for information on the (usual) application deadlines for the CSU and UC systems.  Private and Independent colleges and universities, as well as those which are out of state, may have vastly different application filing periods - check with the individual campus for details.

Both the UC and CSU campuses prefer that you file your application on line. Online applications may be accessed at:
