Submit Application
The first step in the application process is to complete the online application. It is important that you complete the application prior to submitting additional documents. All graduate applicants, regardless of department, must submit an online application.
Note: For immigration purposes, please indicate your name on the application as it appears in your passport.
SDSU uses the California State University common admission application (CSUMentor.) CSUMentor offers a separate application for international student admissions.
Important Tips
Application Fee
A US$55 non-refundable fee is required for processing. Your application cannot be completed until the fee is paid. After you submit the online application you will be asked how you would like to submit the application filing fee. You may pay by credit card at that time or by mailing a U.S. check or international money order to the Cashier's Office.
File Completion Deadline
Deadlines vary by department. View the Graduate Admissions Application Procedures for deadlines.
