CSU APPLICATION WALKTHROUGH (PART 2) | College Support Network

Hi everyone! Part two of my CSU Application Walkthrough series is now live! For today’s video, I will be picking up where I left off the last video and will specifically walk you through the academic history quadrant of the app, then I will discuss how to complete the Supporting Information/Educational Opportunity Program section as well as the Program Materials section. Lastly, I will go over some tips I have for you all before you actually submit! It's another long one today but I know you all will find it extremely useful as you work to complete your CSU applications. As always, please like, comment, subscribe, and share this video with anyone who may find it useful.

    Hi Johana, Are you applying as a transfer student? You should only be using the "RP" course if your transcript specifically identifies the course as repeated and excludes course from institution GPA. If it does not then you can input a W instead.

    Hi! That's a great question. For 7th and 8th grade courses, you will add it to your 9th grade course list and then put the year you were in 9th grade. For example, if you started high school in 2017, put your 7th/8th grade courses in "9th grade" and "2017.'" Hope this helps!

    Hi Gerson. Great question! It depends if you are applying as a lower division transfer or an upper-division transfer. You can find more information here: www2.calstate.edu/apply/transfer/Documents/transfer-application-guide-21-22.pdf (specifically pages 15-16). In general, lower-division transfer (LDT) applicants have to input all high schools attended and complete the High School Coursework and A-G Matching tiles in the Academic History quadrant.

    Hi Gelo, that's a great question! For your 7th-8th grade courses, you'll want to add them to your freshman year academic year and then the high school you attended in 9th grade. For example, if you went to "Troy High School" in 9th grade, go ahead and put your foreign language course down for Troy High School and put it in 9th grade. Here is the exact wording from the CSU website: "If you took 7th and 8th grade courses taken to fulfill A-G requirements, select the appropriate grade level (e.g. 7th grade, 8th grade). Then, enter your first high school attended in 9th grade and your 9th grade academic year." You could finds more information here: www2.calstate.edu/apply/freshman/Documents/freshman-application-guide-21-22.pdf on page 24! I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

    Hi Fredo! Great question. The CSU does not require personal statements or letters of recommendation for the general application. However, if you choose to apply to the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), you will have to provide short answers to some of their questions and they also require two letters of recommendation. Additionally, some specific programs like nursing will ask students to submit an additional supplemental application. Sometimes they require personal statements or letters of recommendation but it really depends on the campus/program.

    Hi Swati, this just means the academic status you had when you took the course. So if you were a freshmen college student, you would put freshmen. If you were a sophomore, you would put sophomore - and then so on. Since you are a high school student (I am assuming here..) you will simply put freshmen. This note is more for students that are already earning their bachelor's degree and are applying for a transfer or a second bachelor's.

    Hi Faith! That's a great question. The CSU application typically does not have an activities/awards section like the UC Application. In general, the CSU application will focus on your test scores and GPA to determine your eligibility for admission. With that being said, this year they have added questions in the "Supporting Information" quadrant. You can find the questions in the "Educational Programs & Work Experience" tab at the bottom! Let me know if this helps.

    Hello! It doesn't always have to be exactly 15 since some students go above and beyond when it comes to coursework. 23 does sound like a lot though so I would go back and check your coursework to see if you inputted things correctly. For example, some students make the mistake of setting the academic calendar to "full-year" when it should be semester, thus adding too many total years of coursework. This is just one example so make sure to just take a look at it to make sure! The goal should be to put everything down exactly as it shows up on your transcripts.
