Provisional admission decision is offered based on the academic information you provided on your application for admission.  It is therefore critical that you report your courses and grades accurately on your application.

First-Time Freshmen Applicants 鈥 We do not need your official high school transcript until you have graduated from high school unless courses listed in your application require clarification or we wish to see your grades in your fall semester senior year courses. Final high school transcripts must include your graduation date.

Transfer Applicants - Admission eligibility requirements are different for lower division and upper division transfer applicants.  We may request transcripts from your previous college/universities to determine how many transferrable units you have by the time you enroll at Cal Maritime.

  • Lower-division transfer applicants have 59 or fewer college semester or 89 or fewer quarter units transferrable units to Cal Maritime
  • Upper-division applicants have 60 or more college semester units or 90 or more quarter units transferrable units to Cal Maritime

Once admitted, transcripts with final semester/quarter grades from all college/universities previously attended will be required. Submission deadlines are:

  • Spring transfers - no later than two weeks after you have been admitted.
  • Fall transfers - by May 1 or no later than four weeks after you have been admitted.

International Students 鈥 We need official and translated transcripts from high school, all colleges you have attended, and the college you are currently attending. These are due as soon as possible sent via email sent to admission@csum.edu.

Submitting a resume to demonstrate experiences relevant to the major is an option for applicants to the following majors: marine transportation, marine engineering technology, facilities engineering technology, or mechanical engineering. Send your resume as  an e-mail attachment to admission@csum.edu

Submission Deadlines for Optional Resumes:

  • Nov. 15 - for first-time freshman qualifying for a Dec. 15 decision (refer to the Early Action option page)

2. Visit the Campus - Many students visit the Cal Maritime campus even before they have received an admission decision. We offer combined information and in-person campus tours where you may also be able to meet with a School Dean or faculty. Due to the ongoing pandemic, we require advanced appointments be made.  We also offer virtual information sessions with one of our counselors. For details or to schedule a visit, go to the Virtual Visits page.

Admission denial

There are times when reasons that lead to a denial of admission no longer exist and providing new and additional information about these situations to the Admissions Office leads to reconsideration for admission. Students who wish to have their admission decisions reconsidered must follow an appeal process.

We recommend you send an e-mail to the Admission Office at admission@csum.edu to receive in writing an explanation of the reason for an unfavorable decision on your application. This will help you determine how write your appeal letter and what evidence to supply supporting it. Refer to the Admission Appeal Procedure page for more information about this process.

Examples of admission denials that a student may appeal include:

  • Low Freshman GPA (including multiple factor enhancements)
  • Freshman missing A-G course(s)
  • Transfer missing "Golden 4" or "Golden 2" course(s)
  • Transfer GPA
  • Transfer less than 60 units and not meeting minimum H.S. qualifications

Reporting errors made on the application are not a basis for the reversal of a decision.
