Admitted Transfer FAQs

1. What should a provisionally admitted students do if their schedule changes? 

Unless the schedule change or final grade(s) (below a “C-“) will prevent you from meeting all admission requirements, then you don't need to take action. Please consult your community college counselor for assistance when selecting courses to ensure you meet the admission requirements.

All admission requirements must be completed before the first term at CSUCI. Admission is considered provisional until any in-progress coursework is satisfactorily completed and documented on official transcripts.

2. Can I change my major?

During your Academic Advising and Course Registration session, you will be given instructions on how to change your major. Please make sure you have signed up for the orientation session that corresponds with your intended major.

3. When will I meet with an academic advisor?

Within your Applicant Portal you will find in-person and virtual options for meeting with your academic advisor. These will become available to you once you have submitted your required documents, specifically official transcripts and AP or IB test scores.

4. May I defer my admission to a later term?

CSUCI allows students to request a deferment of their admission to the next available term. If it has been more than one term, the student will be required to complete a new application and pay the required fee. Updated transcripts are required for coursework that has been completed, or is in progress of being completed, since first being admitted to CSUCI. Students may request a one-time deferral by emailing Admissions (admissions@csuci.edu).
