CSULB Nursing Fall 2021

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi everyone! As CSU applications open up, I wanted to start a thread for all of my fellow pre-nursing students looking to transfer to CSULB!

I’m not sure because the website doesn’t say anything about transcripts 

Hmmm that's a good point. It does say if admitted or wait-listed, follow up with CSULB admissions for documents. So maybe they don't care about having official documents until they make a final decision? You can email them to ask!

CSULB admissions sent me an email letting me know they recieved my CS Apply application and requesting my transcripts. My fall grades were posted anyways so I sent them. Hopefully I didn't unnecessarily spend money on those transcripts!

I'm a second degree applicant and I spoke with a CSULB Admissions rep in Oct/November last year about this but she told me: 

For the general CSULB application (the 1st portion), CSULB requires all official transcripts to be sent to CSULB Office of Admissions. But the SON application (the 2nd portion) does not require official transcripts unless admitted or waitlisted, then they may ask for them.

*When I was talking to her, I specifically mentioned that I was a second degree applicant so this could potentially only apply to 2nd degree students since we are considered graduate students when we apply. 

Don't know if this helps but if you didn't receive an email from CSULB Admissions about missing transcripts, I wouldn't worry about it too much!

OK I checked my email about the supplemental application and it said “Applicants who are offered conditional admission will be asked to submit official documents to confirm the information provided in the Supplemental Application. This may include official college transcripts, test scores, and military records. Please do not submit documents unless requested”

That is helpful! Admissions was emailing me requesting missing transcripts, so I did send them. But I think it is only a second degree applicant thing.

Thanks! Sounds like transfer students shouldn't be sending them. I didn't have to fill out the supplemental application.

Hello guys! 

Im also applying to CSULB but for their RN-BSN program. Does anyone know when they'll usually notify us of admission? Or is it different for each category of nursing? 

Good luck to all of the pre-nursing majors applying, you guys got this!

Based on previous years’ threads for basic BSN, I believe invitations for the communication exercise was sent out roughly around February 20 which is 1-2 weeks after supplemental applications were due. I’m not too sure about the RN-BSN program but most CSU’s send out their decisions by mid March!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to confirm if we can send our TEAS results to either of the following:

CA State Long Beach

CA State Long Beach TEAS

I just want to ensure that I read their instructions correctly. Super nervous!

Additionally, I am aware that most CSU's want our official partial transcripts by February 15th. Does it apply to CSULB as well? What I do know is that we do not submit anything unless requested, so I want to be sure. Clarification would be greatly appreciated as always.

Yes either is OK and weonly have to send transcripts until they are requested

@heavwhit Thank you! ?

Hi! What separate program application with the due date of February 1st are they referring to? I thought the nursing supplemental application was due on February 10th?

I already completed the supplemental transfer application on January 13th.

There is the regular program application that is due February 10th. And there is a supplemental application that is due in February for transfers

Yeah! there’s the general transfer supplemental  app that’s due feb 1st and the supplemental nursing app due feb 10th. Are those the only two required for a transfer applicant?

I’ve already completed the general transfer supplemental app. I just need a counselor to double check my nursing supplemental app.

I’m mainly confused bc it was listed until my general transfer supplemental app section. It made it seem like there was another app (other than those two) required. ?
