CSULB Fall 2018 Transfer Thread

CONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED!!! I received the email at 5:12 PM TODAY. But it says to have transcripts submitted by march 28th, its march 26th!!!

@adehaini Same, I sent them about 2 weeks ago and it says initiated.

@adehaini I was told by enrollment services that as long as you have receipts of the transcripts being sent before the deadline that you “should be good”. I sent 6 transcripts total to the school and some took exactly 3 weeks while others took over 4 weeks.

@“simbaa.h” You should try calling enrollment services (562) 985-5471 first thing in the morning. I know the campus is on spring break, but I have a hard time seeing enrollment services get a spring break when they have thousands of transcripts to process for transfer students. There is also an email address listed in your to-do list items that you can reach out to. It took about 24 hours for me to get an email response the first time and it was very generic.

Either way, you should request your transcripts through your CC online to be sent to Long Beach ASAP (like tonight) so that you will at least have proof that you requested transcripts before the deadline.

My transcripts were sent about 3 weeks ago.
I have emailed and called the school and have not received much help. No emails back and person on the phone just said oh well they must be somewhere on campus just wait a little longer. But the deadline is today ?
I worried about the deadline my items are still on my to do list.

@KryingK I called about 10 minutes ago and the person on the phone said as long as the transcript is postmarked by the 28th you should be fine. They’re just having a difficult time processing all incoming transcripts and will most likely finish going through all of them by the end of the week. Hope this brings some relief!

Sent mine in a month ago, they still haven’t got it. I’m currently standing in line at admissions dropping off my transcript (20+ people long). Obviously going to be here for a while.

So we can drop them off in person? I think I am going to do that…I barely got accepted last night.

Yeah, you need them in by tomorrow if you drop it off in person. Get here early, because the line is horrible.

Hey guys, just dropped off my transcript and asked them why they haven’t gotten mine in yet. They said they’re still checking transcripts from FEBRUARY 28TH. Just wanted to let everyone know.

Accepted! Definitely going here.
Still have to find housing lol but hopefully it works out!

For those of you nervous if your transcripts are still on your todo list this is the message i received from enrollment.
I am non local so I do not have the opportunity to rush over there and take my transcripts.

“Thank you for your correspondence. At this time your transcripts are not reflected in the system. Please be advised that when mailing documents it can take some time for processing. You must account for processing by the US postal service, University Mail Services, and departmental processing. Currently we are experiencing a slight delay in our processing of documents, due to the large Fall 2018 class. At this time maintain a copy of your receipts for your records. We will not penalize students for our processing time. We will only withdraw applicants once we have processed all documents received by the deadline. If your file becomes withdrawn and you decided to request an appeal to reopen, you would include your receipts and appeal statement along with the missing item for review. Again, it is likely that we just haven’t had an opportunity to process your document.”

@ugh4145 Thank you for your reply

Anybody else still have their transcripts on their “To Do List”… sent mine in late February and still nothing!!! I already called last week and they said as long as the postdate says they were sent before the March28th deadline I’m good. But jeez this is getting ridiculous

Does anybody know if accepting decision right now vs end of month makes me miss out on anything? like registering for classes early or any other things? thanks!

I’m so upset I completely missed the deadline to turn in transcripts!! I sent them as a rush order today, but I also called and the lady said they will probably still accept it but it’s not a for sure… I’m so nervous they will withdraw my application :(:(:frowning:

are transcripts only needed for people who were accepted conditionally? i don’t have anything in my to-do list and haven’t received an email from the university.

@EricPbr this is an old comment, but did you end up appealing? I think you should considering your stats are impressive.
