If you have been disqualified, please follow the steps below:

  1. Petition for reinstatement to the Academic Petitions Committee (APC). Follow the steps listed under Readmission of Dismissed Students (PDF).
  2. Reapply for admission at www.calstate.edu/apply.
    • When reapplying be sure to indicate on the profile that you are a returning student and enter your CSUB ID#.
    • Apply during the application filing period of Fall 2025 semester (October 1, 2024 - May 30, 2025)

  1. Petition for reinstatement to the Academic Petitions Committee (APC). Follow the steps listed under Readmission of Dismissed Students (PDF).
  2. Submit a Reenrollment Form for Fall 2025 by May 30th, 2025.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will render an admission decision once you have been academically reinstated to the university, and all official transcripts are received.

You are required to be in good academic standing and have an overall transferable GPA of 2.00 or higher. An admission decision will be communicated to you by email. Submission of the form is not a guarantee of readmission.
