2. Submit to ADM 250, an additional set of official sealed transcripts of ALL colleges or universities attended, including international and domestic. Request that transcripts be sent to your home, not the university.

Attend your scheduled Admissions Interview. You will receive notice by mail or email. If you applied late your interview will be arranged by the Intern Coordinator and you will receive notice by email only.

You cannot register for classes until you are officially admitted to SFSU. (You can check your status online: https://www.sfsu.edu/online/appstat.htm) You will receive a Notice of Admission from the Graduate Division once you have been admitted by the university. The letter will detail instructions for accessing MySFSU to enroll.

Before you can register (these do not need to be done in order, except for number 4 is the last step):
