Undergraduate applicants (freshmen and transfer) – If you have attended school in the U.S., you will be asked to enter your U.S. coursework on your Cal State Apply application. If you attended school outside of the U.S., you will not need to enter your coursework. However, you will be asked to mail a copy of such international transcripts so that we may assess your academic profile.

Applicants are encouraged to review the following helpful resources when completing the Cal State Apply application.

Apply online via Cal State Apply. 

Fall 2025 - October 1 - December 2 (March 1 for non-impacted majors)

International Graduate Application Checklist

Visit our Academic Programs list to explore masters and doctoral programs. 

Unofficial transcripts are to be uploaded at the time of application.  If you received your bachelor’s degree from Cal Poly Pomona, you do not need to send official transcripts. International applicants from non-US institutions must also send official transcripts/marks via post.  If transcripts are not in English, you must provide a certified translation.

While not required, it is strongly suggested that graduate applicants from non US institutions provide a professional credential evaluation from an accredited agency. Doing so may expedite the evaluation of your admission application and assist with determining your degree/course equivalency to CPP requirements.  https://www.naces.org/members
