Fall 2013 Transfer Admission Selection Process
 Admit (except for "Highly Impacted" majors): those considered "local"
based on their high school of graduation or their military veteran status
and have met the minimum major cumulative GPA and required lowerdivision preparation.
 Admit: those on a space-available basis who are not considered "local,"
but have met the major-specific minimum cumulative GPA and the
minimum required lower-division major preparation.
 If space is available, CSU eligible students without the minimum major
preparation will then be considered.
 Consider to admit all others, if the applicant agrees to complete
recommended CSULB transfer requirements in their first year at CSULB.
 Highly Impacted Majors: admitted based on completion of all posted
additional supplemental criteria and requirements. No local preference.
