Transfer to the California State University System (CSU)

The majority of Taft College transfer students transfer to the California State University system, which consists of 23 campuses located throughout the state. Admission representatives from local CSU campuses visit TC’s Transfer/Counseling Center on a regular basis. Please check with the Center for more detailed information.

CSU Applications

Applications for admission to the CSU system are available online at www.csumentor.edu. Applications to impacted programs must be filed during the priority-filing period, which is the first month applications are accepted for a given term. Many CSU campuses are approaching capacity in a number of academic disciplines, and they are likely to stop accepting applications for admission after the first month of the filing period. Campuses that are less impacted may accept applications up to one month prior to the opening day of the term, although individual programs may close earlier. Applications should be filed as early in the filing period as possible to ensure priority consideration!
