  • CSUEB students will also need to be accepted as an Intrasystem Visitor at the other CSU campus as well as be accepted to the study abroad program.
  • CSU policy only allows for one semester as an Intrasystem Visitor at the other CSU campus.
  • Students will need to submit a transcript from the other CSU campus to CSUEB to receive transfer credit.

Study Abroad on a non-CSU or CSUEB Program

Studying abroad on non-CSU or AV狼 programs is something that students should examine very carefully.

Students who are thinking of study abroad on non-CSU/non-CSUEB approved programs should be aware that they may be required to reapply to AV狼 and may lose catalog rights upon return from Study Abroad, depending on the length of time they are gone. Students are not considered enrolled at CSUEB if they are on a non-approved program.  Review your CSUEB Catalog and the Planned Educational Leave website for more information.

The Center for International Education does not advise on the quality of non-CSUEB programs.

Below is a list of issues that students should consider when thinking about choosing to study on a non-CSU or non-CSUEB study abroad program.

The information below is provided as a courtesy and does not guarantee transfer of units or that students will maintain class standing while abroad.

  1. Research the academic quality of the study abroad program. Maintain records of all course descriptions and materials from the program in case department and graduation evaluators have questions.
  2. Submit an official transcript to CSU East Bay after completion of your program for processing of transfer credit.  Please note that transcripts from U.S. institutions will be processed by the Office of the Registrar (degreeaudit@csueastbay.edu), while transcripts from institutions outside the U.S. will be processed by the International Admission Office (iao@csueastbay.edu).
  3. Financial aid can not be used for non-CSUEB programs.
