Hi everyone and welcome to the fall 2022 Transfer Supplemental Application Tutorial. My name is Samantha Garcia. I'm an admission counselor here at San Diego State University, and I will be walking you through our four part series.
This is video one of four where we will be reviewing how to access your application, important deadline information, all the documents you'll need to successfully complete your application, and the first section which is going to be entering your cumulative GPA.
Now let's get started.
In order to access your application, you will need to log into your SDSU WebPortal. When you apply through the Cal State application, we sent you an SDSU Red ID number. Using that information you'll log into your SDSU WebPortal and it'll take you to
to a page looking exactly like this.
Please ensure all of your information is correct, and you will scroll down to the bottom where it says Supplemental Application, and you will click 'View Supplemental Application'. That will take you to your Transfer Supplemental Application.
Now in regards to important deadline information, you will have access to this application, until January 24, 2022 at 11:59pm. That is your deadline.
After that you will no longer have access to this application, so we highly encourage you to take your time, gather all of your information and enter all of your documents information as accurate as possible.
Admissions decisions will be released in March of 2022.
It is also important to note that there is no 'Submit' button on this application. Your application is automatically saved, each time you hit the 'Save Now' button that I will point out throughout the application or these 'Next' buttons.
Now, in regards to all of the documents that you'll need for this application.
We highly encourage you to pull and have access to these documents so you can easily reference them, and enter all of your information as accurate as possible. For your application, you will need all college transcripts,
military transcripts if applicable, Advanced Placement score reports, and International Baccalaureate certificates if you took those exams in high school and received transferable units.
Now going into this mock Supplemental Application I will be using throughout the tutorial.
At the top here you will see all of the sections that are required for your Supplemental Application. This might vary depending on each student and I will put those out as I go.
Now beginning on your grade point average, it is very important to note that when calculating your grade point average, we only need the cumulative GPA of your transferable units. Transferable units are those that apply to a bachelor's degree, and are
not remedial, vocational, professional, or technical in nature.
It's also important to note that we want all grades, including fall 2021 grades.
Here you will have a section, explaining the process on how to calculate your GPA due to your points per unit and your grade level. Please enter your GPA here once you have calculated it and make sure you hit the 'Save Now' button.
Now if you're a military service member, have served, or are currently serving,
you will be filling out this application here or this section I should say, indicating 'Yes' you have received U.S. military service credit, it will prompt you to receive to input how many credits you have received.
If you are unsure, please see the University Policies where it will take you to our Academic Credit link.
Based on the branch of service you have served in and the time, please enter the number of units that are applicable to you in your Supplemental Application and fill out your military status and the branch you have served, and if you have separated
from the military, your date of separation as well.
This concludes the end of our first video of a four part series. Please join me in the next one where I will continue going over the transfer units and General Education.
