Option 1: Start your program in Fall 2024 taking online classes remotely from outside the U.S.

This means you can start your program online while you are in your home country. You should check the class schedule to determine the times and dates of classes.  Some classes may be offered asynchronously, meaning that there are no certain times or dates that you must meet, this is noted in the schedule. There is no minimum unit requirement so you can decide how many classes you want to take. If you decide to begin your program online, please email csueb.i20@csueastbay.edu regarding your I-20 options.

Option 2: Reapply for a future term

You may submit another application via CalStateApply for a future term.   If you are unable to attend in Fall 2024, you can apply for Spring 2025 or Fall 2025.  Please be reminded not all programs accept applications for Spring terms. 

See the International Admissions website for International Application periods.

Your submitted documents for Fall 2024 may be used for your Spring 2025 or Fall 2025 application. After submitting your new Cal State Apply application, please email iao@csueastbay.edu to request that your previously submitted documents be used for evaluation for the new term you have applied for.

You do not need to do anything with your F-1 visa. You can enter the U.S. with that F-1 visa if you are readmitted and defer your I-20 start date.

If you begin your program from your home country for Fall 2024, please be sure to contact csueb.I20@csueastbay.edu to request an updated I-20 for your the semester when you plan to attend in person.

If you reapply for a future term, your new I-20 will be processed upon admission.

Students who will be taking classes from inside the U.S. must maintain adequate health insurance coverage during their period of enrollment in the California State University System. For international students who are enrolled online and are verifiably out of the country, this provision may be waived.

If you plan to pursue study in the U.S. you will need to purchase insurance.  If you will be taking online classes from outside the U.S. in Fall 2024 you may request a waiver of the insurance requirement.

Please see our Health Insurance webpage to either enroll in insurance or request a waiver for Fall 2024.

A ‘hold’ for international student health insurance is automatically placed in MyCSUEB for all F-1 students.  The international health insurance hold will prevent you from registering for classes in Fall 2024.
