CSU Channel Islands welcomes first time freshmen applicants. A student is considered a first-time freshman if they have graduated from (or is still in) high school and who has not enrolled in a regular (non-summer) session at any college or university following graduation. If you have already graduated from high school and have attended a college/university after your high school graduation, you may be considered a transfer student. Refer to the Transfer Admission Website to determine admissibility.

CSU Channel Islands will accept applications for Fall 2021 from high school seniors from October 1, 2020- December 4, 2020.

We invite all students to participate in our virtual services to receive further information regarding CSUCI admission processes, overview of CSUCI, and virtual campus tours and presentations.
