Fall 2020 Application Period Now Open

The fall 2020 application period for San Diego State University begins today. The priority application period will close on Saturday, Nov. 30. 

Prospective students must apply for admission to SDSU through Cal State Apply, the California State University common admission application website. Cal State Apply enables all CSU incoming freshman, transfer, graduate and international students to apply to multiple CSU campuses with one application.

Each admission application filed to a CSU campus requires a nonrefundable fee of $70 (applicants are automatically considered for a fee waiver based on information requested). 
If you are having technical issues with your application, please visit the Cal State Apply Applicant Help Center or check the Cal State Apply FAQ. Prospective students are also encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions to make special arrangements to apply electronically with campus assistance.
SDSU continues to receive increased recognition for its quality education and outstanding programs. 

Earlier this year, The Princeton Review named SDSU one of the country’s top universities, and included the university on its list of “The Best Value Colleges: 200 Schools with Exceptional ROI for Your Tuition Investment.” SDSU’s graduate programs saw significant increases in the “2020 U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate School Ranking” as well.
