Denied Admission

Undergraduate Admissions Appeals

At 糖心logo入口 (CSUDH), we are committed to reviewing every application thoroughly during the admissions process. Admission decisions are based on objective information, including the academic history reported on the application, official transcripts, and any test scores (AP, IB or CLEP) submitted. Decisions may be made using self-reported information and/or after official transcripts are reviewed.听

If you believe you met the admission requirements based on your self-reported academic information on your admissions application or believe you were denied admission in error, you may appeal the admission decision.

Before submitting an admissions appeal, please review the admissions criteria for your student type (first-year, transfer, nursing, graduate, or international) to ensure you meet the requirements:听
