California State University Fully Online Degree/Program
CSU Fully Online Degree/Program has added more online majors and concentrations! With your ADT Degree (AA-T or AST), you are preparing to transfer to a California State University campus. A quick view of majors offered at CSU fully online.
Check to see if your major is listed:
CSU Application for Online Programs, Extended Deadlines
All transfers applying to a CSU Online program complete the CSU Apply application. On the application you will select 'Online' and the major. This selection will also confirm that the major is offered online and CSU campus.
At most CSU campuses application deadlines are extended beyond the November 30 deadline for fall admission or August 31 deadline for spring admission; i.e., most CSU campuses have a May or June application deadline for fall admission. Check the CSU Apply website to verify online application deadlines per CSU campus.
Online CSU Application Fee and Online Tuition
Applicants will not be eligible for $70 application fee waivers because Online CSU is a self-supporting operation through University Extension.
Online CSU has slightly higher tuition rates per unit compared to on-campus courses. The fees and refund structures are different through Extension than on-campus. Check the majors and campuses for their online tuition per unit. Students enrolled in online courses will have access to financial aid with the exception that the CSU State University Grant (SUG) is not available that pays tuition for low-income students. All transfer students are encouraged to apply for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Fully Online Degrees at California Independent/Private and Out-of-State Universities
By far California independent/private and out-of-state universities offer the greatest number of online BA and BS degrees. Here is a partial list of Private/Independent and out-of-state universities Coastline students have transferred:
- Arizona State University
- Azusa Pacific University
- California Baptist University
- National University
- Southern New Hampshire University
- Thomas Edison State University
- University of Massachusetts Global

Application Fee and Online Tuition
Most private and out-of-state universities have waived the application fee.
Tuition rates have become comparable to the CSU on-campus and Online CSU tuition fees. Each private and out-of-state university will have financial aid, work-study, and scholarship funding available to lower the cost of earning a bachelors degree. All transfer students are encouraged to apply for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
