Academic Records
The university requires applicants to submit official college and university records for evaluation. Many applicants to CSUSB have records from schools in both the U.S. and other countries. These diverse educational documents can be challenging when considering admission and possible transfer credit. CSUSB’s international admission counselors are knowledgeable about the different grading systems and methods of evaluating coursework from other countries. To ensure timely evaluation of records, applicants are advised to request academic records early.
- All transcripts/marks sheets, including diplomas from secondary and post-secondary schools, must be sent directly from institutions to the Office of International Admissions. Some cases may take a substantial amount of time to receive and evaluate. Please make arrangements for academic records and other documents to be sent to us well in advance.
