Hi guys, I applied to several Cal States and have finished my fall 2017 semester at a community college and still have one semester left. I’m unsure though when to send my transcripts though? do i send them when i get accepted or should i send them now??
Not every school has the same time frame/protocol for sending in transcripts. I applied to CSULB, CSUF, CSUN, and SDSU last fall. SDSU and CSULB just wanted me to input my grades from fall/winter online and if you are accepted, then you will send them your final transcripts if you accept the offer. CSU Fullerton didn’t request my transcript for quite some time but they ask you the portal, not your regular email. CSUN requested my Fall/Winter transcripts electronically but their system wasn’t working so I had mail hard copies. I think it really depends on the CSU. Hopefully this helps! @xokathleen
Send the preliminary transcripts ASAP and if you are accepted/accept an offer send that final transcript long before the cut off date. When I was accepted to my CSU, I hand delivered the final transcripts myself even though they told me that they electronically recieved the transcripts from my CC. I did this because of a huge mix up where they thought my stats class wasn’t “in progress”.
