The admission process at Cleveland State University (CSU) involves several steps. Prospective students must submit an online application through the university’s website or Common App, along with a non-refundable fee. Required documents include official high school transcripts or GED scores, and SAT/ACT scores (optional for some programs). Transfer students need college transcripts.
CSU reviews applications holistically, considering academic performance, coursework rigor, and extracurricular involvement. Some programs may require additional materials like essays or letters of recommendation. Once admitted, students must confirm enrollment by paying a deposit and attending orientation. International applicants must provide English proficiency test scores (TOEFL/IELTS) and visa documentation.
