The California State University (CSU) application for Fall 2025 is expected to open in October 2024. The exact date will be announced on the CSU website. To apply to CSU, students must create an account on the CSU Apply website and submit an application to each campus they are interested in attending. The application fee is $70 per campus. Students can apply to up to six CSU campuses.
Applying to CSU early is important for several reasons. First, some campuses have early deadlines. For example, the CSU Long Beach early deadline is November 30, 2024. Second, applying early gives students more time to complete their applications and gather the necessary materials, such as transcripts and letters of recommendation. Third, applying early allows students to be considered for scholarships and financial aid.
