Other important upcoming deadlines you should consider:
Apply for Financial Aid & Scholarships
Over 80% of our undergraduates receive some form of financial aid, including grants and scholarships that do not have to be paid back. Apply for financial aid by submitting a FAFSA or California Dream Act application by the extended priority deadline of May 1, 2025. To receive a tuition fee deferral and ensure the timely processing of your financial aid award, you must meet the May 1, 2025 deadline. Remember, you pay for any difference between your financial aid award and your actual fees. Visit the Financial Aid website for more information.
For additional information, visit Financial Aid and Scholarship at go.csuci.edu/financialaid or e-mail financial.aid@csuci.edu for questions.
Apply for Housing
The online Housing application for NEW residents will open in March/April 2025. New students are not required to live on campus. For more information visit go.csuci.edu/Housing.
Submit Residency Documents (if required) - Due Friday, July 25, 2025
This requirement is for students with a residency status of “Another State or U.S. Possession” or “Undetermined.” If this is your status, and you submit your documents after the deadline or submit incomplete documents, you may not have them processed in time for the Fall 2025 term. This may result in you being charged non-resident tuition for Fall 2025. State residency determines the admissions criteria and fee structure for all applicants. Your residency is determined by the information submitted in your application for admission and is referenced in our offer of provisional admission. For additional information, please visit go.csuci.edu/CAresidency or e-mail registrar@csuci.edu for questions.
