Register for Orientation

Although optional, it's best to attend an orientation to get started on the right path. Orientation will help you learn about CSU and build your support system by introducing you to other students, staff, and faculty members. 

Review Your Transfer Credit Evaluation

Once we know you plan to come to CSU, our Registrar's Office will complete an official credit evaluation that can be viewed in CampusNet. Once it is ready, we'll send you an email! 

Schedule an Advising Appointment

All transfer students must meet with an academic advisor to register for classes. Most students will use Starfish to schedule advising appointments; however, those in the Monte Ahuja College of Business will use their self-scheduler.
