CSU Admitted Student Checklist

The following checklist can help students prepare to attend CSU once they have been admitted to a CSU campus:

  • Activate your campus account if your campus requires it, e.g., BroncoDirect, mycsulb.edu. Your campus account will help you access online student updates, deadlines and appointments.
  • Open and read carefully all mail and e-mails from your admitted school. Most communication will come via e-mail.
  • Keep a copy of all correspondence.
  • Return your “Intent to Register/Deposit” form to the campus by the posted deadline.
  • Take ELM/EPT placement tests unless you were exempt via SAT, EAP, or AP.
  • If you are not sure, register for and take the EPT (English Placement Test) and the ELM (Entry Level Mathematics) tests as soon as possible. Contact your campus testing office.
  • Submit the application for student housing. Please note that students should submit housing applications during the admission application time period. Submit lease agreements and/or deposits.
  • Follow up with Financial Aid at www.fafas.ed.org by the priority deadline of March 2. Make sure SAR (Student Aid Report) forms are complete and submitted to the campus.
  • Meet immunization requirements. Contact the Student Health Center for campus-specific requirements.
  • Register for orientation.
  • Register for classes online.
  • Submit final official transcripts.
