Think You Missed CSU Deadlines?

Think you missed the CSU deadline? Think again. Several California State University campuses are still accepting applications for Fall 2026 but time is running out.

Currently Closed:

• Cal State Fullerton

• Cal State Long Beach

• Cal Poly Pomona

• San Jose State

• San Diego State (effectively closed—only Imperial Valley programs available)

Still Open (Selected Deadlines):

• Cal State Northridge: Open until January 31st

• Cal State Dominguez Hills: Open until March 31st

• Sacramento State: Open until January 15th

• CSU Bakersfield: Closes December 15th (apply NOW!)

Many other CSU campuses remain open with varying deadlines.

You need an affordable safety school. Don't assume private school financial aid will work out. CSU campuses offer quality education, on-campus housing, and most importantly—graduates are getting jobs.

Some campuses are approving applications within one week of submission. The earlier you apply, the better your housing options.
