Once you've enrolled, it's onto your next steps. At this time, your admission is provisional until you complete all steps of the admission process by the designated deadlines below. We recommend checking your email regularly! Our number one form of communication is email. 

Complete Your Admission for Fall 2025

  • Attend Admitted Dolphin Day - April 12, 2025
    This on-campus event allows new students and their supporters to explore all that CSUCI has to offer and to experience what it means to be a Dolphin! To learn more information, visit the Admitted Dolphin Day website. 

  • Please check your To-Do list in myCI to check if you are missing transcripts. To receive final clearance to attend Cal State Channel Islands in the fall, you must arrange to have your official final transcripts (with all grades posted) and any AP scores sent directly to the Admissions Office. Official mailed transcripts must be sent as a hard copy in a sealed envelope, mailed to our Admissions department. These documents must be sent to the address below and received no later than July 15, 2025:

    Cal State Channel Islands
    ATTN: Admissions - Sage Hall
    One University Drive
    Camarillo, CA 93012

    You may also hand-deliver your transcripts to the CSUCI Admissions Office, provided they remain in the same sealed envelope provided by your registrar. Check our Admissions office hours before visiting campus. Official electronic transcripts may be sent if they come directly from your college/institution. If your school's transcript ordering system asks for a recipient's name and email, please indicate Cal State Channel Islands and admissions@csuci.edu. We will not accept transcripts emailed to our Admissions office from sources other than your school. Please do NOT fax transcripts.

    If you took Advanced Placement (AP) exams in high school, you must request that your official scores be sent to us directly from the College Board by this deadline (unless you have already done so). Request scores at least 6-8 weeks in advance.

    Note: If you have taken coursework from an institution outside of the United States, your transcript must be evaluated by a credentials evaluation service, such as the International Education Research Foundation IERFF) at www.ierf.org. Request your official report at least 6-8 weeks in advance of the transcript deadline. A detailed report with course-level identification is required.

  • 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 April 2, 2025. To receive a tuition fee deferral and ensure the timely processing of your financial aid award, you must meet the April 2 deadline. Remember, you pay for any difference between your financial aid award and your actual fees. Visit the Financial Aid website for more information. 

    In addition, the CI Scholarships deadline has been extended to April 2, 2025.

    For additional information, visit Financial Aid and Scholarship at go.csuci.edu/financialaid or e-mail financial.aid@csuci.edu for questions.

  • 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.
