Frequently Asked Questions

I was Provisionally admitted. What is Provisional admission?

Cal State East Bay considers in-progress coursework when making initial admissions decisions. However, all offers are provisional until your final transcripts and degree confirmation are received. This includes a final review to ensure you meet all admission requirements.

Most applications meet the conditions of admission but occasionally some may not.

Here are some common reasons that may affect your admissibility:

Holds-How do I clear my provisions for admissions?

Incoming Graduates must submit all final, official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended. Transcripts with final grades for all courses must be submitted to clear any admission conditions (holds) and maintain your eligibility to enroll. If a degree is in progress, please make sure that the degree is recorded on your transcript prior to submitting your transcript to our campus.

Please refer to the Graduate student application and document deadlines page for final transcript deadlines.

The University requires applicants to submit official final transcripts from all colleges and universities attended be sent to Cal State East Bay’s Office of Admissions. This includes all institutions before and after your bachelor’s degree. The Office of Admissions does not accept composite transcripts. Courses that appear on one transcript but taken at another institution will need to have transcript sent from that original institution.

When can I register for classes now that I accepted the admission offer?

Monitor your MyCSUEB portal for your registration time. For spring semester admits, registration starts around November 1st. For fall semester admits, registration starts around April 1st.

Note that only students who have accepted our offer are assigned registration time.

Do I have an advisor assigned to me?

All graduate programs have advisors associated with the program. Contact your department or program to determine your advisor.

How much do I owe and how do I pay for my classes?
