Appealing an Admission Denial or Cancellation
All admission decisions are explained in MyCSUEB. Students who fail to meet admission requirements resulting in an admission denial, students who have their admission revoked for not fulfilling the Terms and Conditions of Admission, or students canceled for failing to meet a deadline, have the right to petition for reconsideration. Only students with new and compelling information indicating they meet the admission criteria, or those who can demonstrate an extreme personal situation with supporting documentation, are considered. Requests for reconsideration must be received by emailing admissionpetitions@csueastbay.edu within 15 days of receipt of the denial letter with their full name, NetID, and the statement of their petition.
