Freshman Applications

Cal State San Bernardino is no longer accepting applications for first-time freshmen seeking admission for fall 2008. To learn about your post-secondary education options, please set up an appointment with an Admissions Counselor, by calling the Office of Admissions and Student Recruitment Office at (909) 537-5188.

Application Filing Deadlines

The priority filing period for fall applications is Oct. 1 through Nov. 30 in the year prior to when you will attend. If you plan on beginning coursework at the university in the fall of 2008, you would apply by Nov. 30, 2007, to be considered in the priority filing period. Currently, Cal State San Bernardino accepts applications after the priority filing period.

The priority filing period for winter applications is June 1-30 and for spring applications, Aug. 1-31.

Applying and submitting supplementary documents (transcripts, residency information, etc.) early will allow enough time for you to be able to participate in priority registration and avoid the $25 late registration fee.

Financial Aid

The deadline to submit your Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) is March 2. Submit your application early so that you will be in a better position to receive money for which you may be eligible.

Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)

Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) at Cal State San Bernardino also has a March 2 priority application deadline. There may still be space available after the deadline, but applying early will grant access to all of the services that EOP has for you before the beginning of the school year.

On-campus Housing

On-campus housing in Serrano Village is guaranteed for first-year students who apply by the priority deadline in March. Contact the CSUSB Housing Office for more details.

Students who have been admitted to CSUSB are required to take or be exempt from English and math placement tests prior to registering for courses. More information on test dates and registration deadlines for the English Placement Test (EPT) and Entry Level Math (ELM) are available online at the Undergraduate Studies Testing Office.
