CSU Extends Fall 2021 Application Deadline Due To COVID

LONG BEACH (CBSLA) — The Long Beach-based California State University system Tuesday extended its fall 2021 application deadline to Dec. 15 to accommodate students coping with the coronavirus pandemic.

The application deadline was originally set for Friday, Dec. 4.

Applications for any of the CSU campuses can be submitted online at calstate.edu/apply.

Prospective students were also encouraged to explore CSU financial aid options after applying, with officials noting that 80% of all CSU students receive some form of financial aid.

On Monday, the University of California system extended its application period due to a problem with the online application portal.
