Dep. or Architecture transfer timeline

<p>Hey guys, I’m new to this site but it looks like there’s a lot of good people. I have a question about the transfer timeline of the architecture department. I’m coming up on the 60 units I need but I may not have them all completed until the end of the summer. I know transfer students can only apply during Fall, but if I applied Fall of 2015 would I have to wait until Fall of 2016 to attend? I’m very worried that I’ll have to sit around for an entire year. Does anyone know if they accept transfer students after their 2nd quarter?
Quick side question, I have a 4.0 but no way to create a portfolio for review. Is that a serious issue for selection competitiveness? Thanks guys!</p>

As far as I know, you have to complete at least 60 units by spring 2015 if you wanna enroll during fall 2015. Summer classes don’t count for admissions. For what schools did you apply for?

Yes in answer to your first question. Fall admits only. Check out CSU Mentor page for CP SLO. As to your second question see link below:

BUT there is no substitute for contacting either admissions or the CAED department to get definitive answers on the portfolio requirement.
