Admitted? Next Steps

Now that you're officially admitted, explore the next steps to becoming an enrolled student and part of the Warrior family. Learn about accepting your admission, orientation dates, financial aid and more.

1. Log in to myStanState

You should have received a confirmation email two to three weeks after you submitted your application, along with instructions to create one password to access myStanState (your student center) and Stanislaus State email account.

Keep track of your admission application through your myStanState student center and University email. You can access your email on your myStanState center through the Office365 icon under the “Student Email” section.

2. Accept Admission

Visit your myStanState center at my.csustan.edu to accept your admission or contact the admissions office at admissions@csustan.edu.

You will need to complete the required items listed in your myStanState student center To-Do List. For help completing the Becoming a Warrior item, please watch the provided walkthrough guide.

3. New Student Orientation

Once you have accepted your admission you can choose your New Student Orientation date and you will be registered. Email confirmation will be sent to both your personal and Stan State email. Orientation is where Warriors are made! It’s where you will register for classes, learn how to use campus systems and get everything you need to start your Stan State Journey. All new students are required to attend orientation. For more information on orientation, visit the New Student Orientation Website.

Fee: Once registered, you will accrue a $75 orientation fee, posted to your student center. You may pay this online in your student center.

4. Submit Required Material

First Year
Send official transcripts by the specified deadline in your to-do list in your myStanState student center to confirm your eligibility.

Transfers
Test scores or other external credit must be sent directly from the issuing agency (ie: College Board, CLEP, military credit, etc). If you are accepted to Stanislaus State, send official transcripts by the specified deadline to confirm your eligibility and have a transfer credit evaluation completed in time for New Student Orientation.

Residency
Although residency for tuition purposes is NOT a factor in admissions, we are required to establish your residency status. You may receive communication requesting additional information. See more on Residency Information.

5. Apply for Financial Aid & Scholarships

File your Free Application for Federal Student Aid or your California Dream Act– Changes are coming to the 2024-25 FAFSA/CADAA. The application filing begins Dec. 31. The California priority application deadline for 2024-2025 FAFSA is April 2, 2024. For more information, visit your student center and the Financial Aid & Scholarship Office.

6. Campus Tours

The campus visit is among the most important parts of the college decision process. We invite you to tour the campus, meet current students, learn about campus offerings and more! Campus visit opportunities are available year-round.

7. Housing

Live in the heart of Warrior nation. Students who live on campus have higher graduation rates, higher GPAs and graduate faster than those who live off-campus. Research shows that students who choose to live on campus have stronger connections with faculty and to their campus, better relationships with their peers and are more likely to get involved. Being within an 8-minute walk to any building on campus doesn't hurt, either.
