CSU Application Update Tutorial
After applying to the CSU, some CSUs request that transfer applicants update their academic information to ensure they have your most recent grades and courses.
If so, you must provide your final grades from Fall 2023 and list all courses in progress or planned for Winter and/or Spring 2024.
Please take this opportunity to ensure you have provided the most accurate information on your transfer application.
Please complete the following steps prior to January 31, 2024:
1. Login to Cal State Apply and select the "Check Status" page.
2. Download a PDF copy of your applications to review your academic information and transferable GPA.
3. Review your Transcript Entry for each college you have attended
o Ensure ALL Courses have been entered
o Review and update the Transferable Flag, if needed
o Update ALL grades for Fall 2023 coursework
o Ensure all Winter/Spring 2024 courses are entered
o Ensure repeated courses have a grade of RP and Academic Renewal courses have a grade of AR
4. Update your General Education information, if needed
For further details on completing the Transfer Academic Update, please refer to the Academic Update Guide. You can also refer to the Transfer Application Guide for more detailed instructions.
In addition to completing the Cal State Apply Academic Update, some CSU campuses may request that you complete a supplemental application. Please make sure that you complete both.
