Transfer Students

Transfer students are those who have earned college credit at a community college or other institution.

Spring 2013

Due to continued cuts in funding from the State of California, the California State University (CSU) must limit enrollment for the Spring 2013 term.  Sacramento State will accept applications only from community college transfer students who complete the Associate Degree for Transfer, which was made possible through Senate Bill 1440.  Associate Degree for Transfer must also be from an approved major at Sacramento State.  No other undergraduate applications will be processed on CSU Mentor.  Applicants must complete the “For California Community College Students Only” portion of the College Information page in CSU Mentor with details about the Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) which they have completed.

Applicants must submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended and an official transcript showing completion of an Associate Degree for Transfer or a verified petition for graduation with an Associate Degree for Transfer from a California Community College by October 22, 2012.

Transcripts are to be submitted to:
