How does the transfer process from Crafton Hills College to a CSU work?

I'm planning to transfer from Crafton Hills College to a CSU and could use some information on how the process works. What should I prepare for, and are there specific requirements I need to be aware of?

To transfer from Crafton Hills College to a Cal State (CSU) school, there are some steps and requirements you need to keep in mind to streamline the process.

Firstly, you should aim to meet the general admission requirements for transfer students. You need a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (C average) or better in all transferable units attempted, be in good standing at the last college or university attended, and complete 60-semester units that are eligible for transfer to the CSU, including a general education program of at least 30-semester units.

These 60 units must include a minimum of 30 units of CSU’s general education (GE) requirements with grades of C- or better. The GE courses must be completed with a 2.0 GPA and include courses in written communication, oral communication, critical thinking, and mathematics/quantitative reasoning.

You’ll also want to choose a major and ensure you meet all the lower division requirements for your major before transferring if possible. Consult with your academic advisor or counselor to figure out the best course of action.

After this, you'll need to submit your application, which you can do online via the Cal State Apply website. The application usually opens for the fall semester in October and ends in November, while for the spring semester, it usually opens in August and ends in September. Be sure to have all official transcripts and any other necessary documentation ready when you apply.

If you’ve followed these steps and meet all the criteria mentioned, you should be in a strong position to transfer from Crafton Hills College to a CSU. Be sure to maintain good academic standing and check with advisors at both Crafton Hills and the CSU you wish to attend to make sure you're on track.
