Frequently Asked Questions
How does an multi-campus program work?
Students select a ‘home’ CSU campus to apply to. They are eligible to enroll in courses offered on other CSU 'host' campuses through the Intrasystem Concurrent Enrollment program. Students log into the course at the ‘host’ institution. At the end of the semester, grades are reported on the transcript at the ‘home’ institution. There is no need to request a transcript from the host institution.
What is the Intrasystem Concurrent Enrollment Program?
The California State University Concurrent Enrollment Program allows a student to enroll in classes at their home CSU and simultaneously enroll for classes at another CSU. There is no limit on the number of times a student may use this program. A new Concurrent Enrollment Application must be submitted each semester.
