December
Fill out a transcript request at your current college to send us a copy with Spring work-in-progress. Click here for more information on when to send transcripts.
If are planning on taking any courses in the Spring or Summer, you will not have heard any information about your application from us at this point. This is because Fresno State processes transfer applications very differently from other campuses. We complete a full evaluation of all your coursework, called a DARS, and send it to you prior to your first advising session (Dog Days). To do this, we must verify your spring work-in-progress, and therefore cannot start admitting students until January, regardless of your application date.
January
Submit the FAFSA Free Application for Federal Student Aid online at www.fafsa.ed.gov during the priority filing period, January 1-March 2.
Continue to check your Fresno State email, and begin to check your Fresno State Portal at my.csufresno.edu. You can see the status of your application on this website (you login with your email address and password).
