Learning more about our programs is the first step in the admission process. We will provide you with all of the information needed to see if you are eligible and help you make a decision to apply.
Step 1: Learn more about our Undergraduate degree programs and your eligibility
Undergraduate degree prerequisites, GPA, and other criteria vary by program. If you already hold an undergraduate degree then Extended University is open to students seeking a second degree*.
Step 2: Domestic Applicants - Apply to CSU Channel Islands
Applying to CSU Channel Islands is through Cal State Apply ($70 application fee).
International Applicants - Visit International Programs page for available programs and admissions.
Extended University BS Nursing and BA Psychology programs are not open to international applicants. BS Business Online is open to foreign students who do not require an F1 student visa.
Step 3: Submit transcripts and test scores
The requirements and steps to apply vary by program. Check your specific program admissions page for more details.
Step 4: Submit Intent to Enroll Form
You will be notified of your admission status by email. If you are accepted, submit the intent to enroll form (within 20 days of acceptance) to secure your seat in the program. This form will be included with your acceptance letter. All programs except Nursing are considered on first-come basis due to the small class-sizes. Nursing is an impacted program.
* The second degree applies only to baccalaureate degrees offered through Extended University (not the main campus in Camarillo): BS Business, BA Psychology, and BS Nursing (Track I BSN Goleta, Track II ADN/RN to BSN). The second BA/BS is major/core courses and Upper Division Interdisciplinary General Education (UDIGE) only; if a student's first BA/BS is from CSUCI then UDIGE would be waived since the requirement is satisfied.
