California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) 2010-2011 Updates

San Francisco (CollegeToCareers.com)-  California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) sent out an email Thursday morning to community colleges updating them on recent news about CSULB and the upcoming 2010 – 2011 academic year.  It stated that CSULB remains committed to transfer student success and to partnering with community colleges to help students meet their educational and transfer goals.  The Beach, as it’s affectionately known, is committed to providing the latest transfer admission information to help facilitate transfer students’ access and successful transition to CSULB.

The following are updates for 2010-2011.

Fall 2010:

• CSULB received an unprecedented number of applications for Fall 2010.
• Over 71,000 applications were received of which 21,973 applications were from transfers students.  That’s an increase of 48.6% from previous years.
• Despite budget challenges, CSULB is welcoming approximately 200 more new transfer students this September 2010 than they did last Fall 2009.

Spring 2011:

• At this time, CSULB is closed to transfer students for Spring 2011.  This is consistent to most CSU’s in the CSU system.
• If the state budget is passed in a timely manner and allows for increased enrollment, new transfers will be a priority.

Fall 2011:

• CSULB expects to increase the size of the transfer class for Fall 2011. The size of the increase will depend on the outcome of the state budget.  We will post more here as budget news develops.
• All transfer admission requirements for Fall 2011 must be completed by the end of the previous Spring semester. Summer coursework in progress will no longer be allowed for any majors.
• All impacted majors now require completion of specific lower-division courses along with other supplemental requirements.

A link to our comprehensive impacted majors Web site is provided below.

• Communicative Disorders has been added as an impacted major.
