Visitor Enrollment

What is an Intrasystem Visitor?
Students enrolled at a California State University may apply for a visitor's exchange to another CSU campus.

Incoming Eligibility Requirements

You must have completed at least one term at your "home" campus as a matriculated student.

You must be in good academic standing at your home campus, have a grade point average of 2.0 in all work completed at your home campus, and be eligible to register in "continuing" status at your home campus.

Incoming Enrollment Condition

Approval will be for one term only as a visitor. If you wish to attend our campus longer, you will need to file a regular application for admissions. Classes are subject to space availability and regular application deadlines apply.  Please call our Campus Service Center at 831-582-5100 to confirm deadlines or view our website for applicable deadlines.

Financial aid is available to visitors only through their home campus. Students eligible for Veterans, Rehabilitation, Social Security, and other federal, state, or county benefits must secure eligibility certification through the home campus.

Evidence of completion of course prerequisites may be required at time of enrollment (e.g., transcript, grade report).

Incoming Application Procedures

Obtain a CSU "Application for Intrasystem Visitor Enrollment" form from your home campus' Registrar's Office. Submit the completed form back to your Registrar's Office.

The home campus Registrar's Office will determine eligibility and forward the form to the Office of the Registrar at CSU Monterey Bay.

If CSUMB accepts your application, you will be mailed a special letter of admissions for visitors. If we do not grant your request, you will be notified via mail.

Outgoing Enrollment Conditions

To remain beyond the term in which you are a "visitor", a regular application must be filed.

"Visitor" Status will not be approved if the terms overlap on home and host campuses.

Concurrent enrollment at another CSU campus is not possible while in "Visitor" status.

Financial aid is available to "Visitors" only through the home campus and students eligible for Veterans, Rehabilitation, Social Security, and other Federal, State, or county benefits must secure eligibility certification through the home campus.

All required fees must be paid at the time of the "Visitor" registration.

A record of credit earned at the host campus will automatically be sent to the home campus.

Evidence of completion of course prerequisites may be required at time of enrollment (i.e., transcript or grade reports).

Outgoing Application Procedures

Student completes application and submits to Registrar on the home campus at least four weeks in advance of first day of classes at the host campus. Earlier submission (up to three months before class begins) may improve registration opportunity.

Home campus completes part II of the Application and forwards to host campus if approved, or returns to the student if disapproved.

Host campus provides registration instructions if application is accepted, or returns application with explanation if it can not be accepted.
