Steps to Become Eligible for Summer Session Registration for New Students

- Complete and submit the Summer Session request form on my.SDSU by May 22, 2023. The request form is located in the Applicant section of my.SDSU. From your Profile tile, navigate to the Student Forms and select the Summer Early Entry Request link. Once the form is submitted, the Office of Admissions will verify your admission
eligibility through a review of your official documents. Please keep in mind that
admission decisions were based on self-reported information from your Academic History
and Prerequisite Update on Cal State Apply. The Office of Admissions will verify your
reported information upon receiving your official transcripts and test scores. All
courses required for admission must be passed with a "C-" or higher grade, and you
must also maintain the grade point average reported on your application. Note: If the admission requirements are not met, your offer of admission may be withdrawn.
