Deadlines

CSUF is a highly impacted campus. We receive far more eligible students than we can possibly accommodate. For this reason, deadlines, such as transcript deadlines are strictly enforced. It is solely the student’s responsibility to assure that all required documents are received by the Office of Admissions on or before the deadline in order to finalize your conditional admission. Physical documents must be delivered on or before that date. Electronic transcripts must be transmitted on or before that date.

All transcripts requests, even electronic ones, require processing times. Please contact each school you have attended and verify how far in advance a transcript request must be made. Transcripts that are requested before a deadline but delivered after will be considered late.

TRANSCRIPTS/Mark Sheets

Shortly after applying, all CSUF applicants will have a Titan Online Student Portal and a customized To-Do list created with individually tailored transcript requests and deadlines. Please activate your student portal as soon as possible and view your To-Do list before submitting transcripts.

Applicants are expected to submit an official transcript from every institution they have attended, even if they withdrew before completing a term and whether the courses are transferable . If you did not attend a school that is listed, an Official Letter of Non-Attendance is required to satisfy that To-Do list item.

In the United States, the academic record is called a “transcript.” In other countries, these documents might be called by other names, such as mark sheets, leaving certificates or maturity certificates.

• Official original-language transcripts will be required from each school you have attended.

• If documents are not in English, you must submit a word-for-word certified English translation. We do not accept credential evaluations from third-party companies.
• All academic records received become official university property and cannot be returned or reissued.
• Credential evaluations by third-parties are not required. However, official transcripts can be sent through the services of World Education Services (WES) or The Evaluation Company (SPANTRAN) only. Evaluations and transcripts from any other third-party source will not be accepted as official.

Only OFFICIAL College transcripts will be accepted. What are official transcripts you ask?
