You will receive an email regarding your admission status after the Office of Admissions has reviewed your readmission application and any required documents.

Please allow at least 2-4 weeks for your application to be reviewed. 

Applicants are required to maintain a current email address on file with the university and to check their email regularly. You may update your email address or check the status of your admissions application at any time by visiting Applicant Self-Service. 

Admission denials are made only after an extensive review of academic qualifications and weighing those qualifications against the competitive nature of É«ÖÐÉ«'s applicant pool. These decisions are rarely overturned. Denial appeals are considered only for extraordinary reasons beyond the control of the applicant. 

For an appeal to have merit it must contain new, serious, and compelling information that clearly shows you to be academically stronger than in your earlier application. Mistakes in your original application are not grounds for an appeal. Additionally, the prospect of a stronger academic performance in the current term is also not sufficient for an appeal.  

If you are interested in submitting an Admissions Appeal, follow these guidelines: 

1. no later than 15 days (about 2 weeks) after the receipt of your original Admissions decision. Appeals submitted via hard-copy letter, email or fax are not accepted. 
2. Your submission must clearly outline new and compelling reasons for appealing the decision. 
3. Supporting documentation is required. 
4. Letters of recommendation and personal statements or essays are not considered in the Admissions process at É«ÖÐÉ« and cannot be submitted as part of your appeal. 
5. You may not appeal to be placed on the Wait List. 

The Office of Admissions will send you an email within 4-6 weeks with a response to your appeal request. Only one appeal may be submitted for an academic term. 

• Students appealing a residency decision should contact the Residency Specialist at es-residency@csulb.edu. 
• Students who have applied through the Bob Murphy Access Center Special Admission Process should contact the Bob Murphy Access Center directly. 

Check the Colleges and Departments page to confirm that your major is still offered at É«ÖÐÉ«. Also, be aware that if you have taken upper division coursework in your major (300-400 level courses), you may need to work with your college to see if that coursework is still valid for your program’s requirements. Typically, these courses must be completed in the last ten years.  

Please note that some courses may not be eligible for revalidation, and you may ultimately need to repeat courses in order to meet your degree requirements.
