Hi! I had a question regarding transferring to Cal State BSN programs. I'm currently finishing up the 8 prerequisites for specific Cal States, and I currently have 2 left that I'm hopefully going to finish this spring semester. My question is for those who have transferred or planning to transfer to Cal States: if I finish my last 2 classes this spring, does this make me illegible to apply for fall this year? I've been researching online and some say that as long as I finished my classes before spring 2021 then I can apply, but then I see other sites saying that I was supposed to finish my prereqs during fall 2019 to apply for 2020.

You are actually correct in both scenarios. Schools are different - even within the CSU/UC system - of when their deadlines are to complete classes.
There are some which will accept in-progress classes and wait for you to finish them by the end of the semester you're taking them. You just send them your final grade/transcript to show what you received. Others you must complete everything and not have any in-progress.
Seems you have already noticed this in the different schools you are applying to so just keep that in mind when you really do start applying and/or scheduling your classes
