Applying at a Glance

Step 1

You may submit an application online at CSUMentor. There is a non-refundable, non-transferable application fee of $55 if you do not qualify for a fee waiver. The need-based fee waiver may be used at up to six campuses and will be confirmed once you submit your application.

When you have successfully submitted your online application, you will instantly receive a confirmation number. Please print and keep the page that your confirmation number is on as your receipt.

Step 2

Contact your department for their specific program application.

Step 3

You may mail any additional documents (application fee, official transcripts, residency information, etc.) to: 

California State University, San Bernardino
Graduate Admissions Office UH-368
5500 University Parkway
San Bernardino, CA 92407

The program application, statement of purpose, any letters of recommendation, etc., should be sent directly to your department. Simply replace “Graduate Admissions” in the address above with the appropriate program title for timely delivery.              

Step 4

Within approximately two weeks, you will receive notice by mail to let you know that we have received your application. This is your acknowledgement letter. The letter will contain your MyCoyote ID number, activation code, and CSUSB e-mail account information. Please contact us if you do not receive this letter after two weeks from the submission of your application.

Step 5

Activate your MyCoyote account and view your application status online. By using MyCoyote you can speed up the processing of your application by identifying any documents you still need to turn in to the Graduate Admissions Office.

Feel free to contact the Graduate Admissions Office at (909) 537-5030 for any questions about your application or e-mail us at gradadmissions@csusb.edu
