Transcripts - Transfer Students
All undergraduate applicants must submit official transcripts from each college in which they have enrolled. This includes special sessions, correspondence, and audited courses, as well as any college in which the student was enrolled and withdrew without earning credit.
Electronic transcripts are preferred and result in shorter processing time. Check to see a list of vendors we use to provide your electronic transcripts.
Transcripts should be sent directly from the originating institution to the Office of Admissions; hard copy transcripts submitted by the student are acceptable if submitted in the original sealed envelope. Cal State Monterey Bay accepts electronic transcripts from the majority of colleges. Please do not email transcripts directly to CSUMB. Transcripts will not be considered official unless they are sent using a secured and verified transcript vendor, or unless sent directly from the originating institution. Instead, you can place an electronic transcript order and add the CSUMB email as the receiving institution; the email address to include as your recipient when you place your order is admissions@csumb.edu. Please review the information in the document provided above to see what third party vendors we partner with to accept transcripts electronically.
