How to Apply to Cal State San Bernardino: 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. 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
You may mail any additional documents (application fee, official transcripts, residency information, statement of financial responsibility, TOEFL scores, etc.) to:
CSUSB
International Admissions
5500 University Parkway
San Bernardino, CA 92407
International applicants must submit a statement of financial responsibility to be considered for admission to the university. International students are also required to submit evidence of adequate medical/hospital insurance to the international student advisor.
Step 3
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 coyote 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 4
Activate your MyCoyote account. Applicants can view their status online at MyCoyote and determine if there are any other documents to turn in to International Admissions.
The CSU uses separate requirements and application filing dates as guidelines for admission to "international students."
An applicant whose education has been in a language other than English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL ). This test is administered in most foreign countries and official test scores must be received by the CSUSB before admission to the university can be granted. Visit the ETS TOEFL site for more information about TOEFL, including testing times and locations.
Insurance is a requirement. Effective Aug. 1, 1995, all F-1 and J-1 visa applicants must agree to obtain and maintain health insurance as a condition of registration and continued enrollment in the California State University. This is a condition of receiving an I-20 or DS-2019 form. Such insurance must be in amounts as specified by the United States Information Agency (USIA) and NAFSA: Association of International Educators. The campus president or designee shall determine which insurance policies meet these criteria. Further information may be obtained from the International Center.
Feel free to contact our office at (909) 537-5188 or e-mail an International Admissions Counselor if you have any questions about your application process.
