Application Instructions

October 27, 2017

We are excited that you are interested in applying to our programs, and would like to assist you with the application process. 

Hello prospective students,

We are excited that you are interested in applying to our programs, and would like to assist you with the application process. Please note that you must apply separately to our office as well as to the CSUN university. It is recommended that you first apply to the Credential Office -  instructions for doing so can be found below - before you apply to the university.

  1. Credential Office Application

    Visit our applications page for instructions on how to apply directly to our office.

  2. University Application

    We have recently upgraded our online university application to a new system called Cal State Apply. This upgrade is still in progress, and so some of our academic programs may not be immediately visible. If you are having difficulty with Cal State Apply, you can seek help via:

Finding Your Program in Cal State Apply

Within the Cal State Apply application, you will need to select the “Credential Only” option when choosing the academic program that you are applying to.

Department-specific Assistance

For further assistance, you can contact our office at (818) 677-CRED (2733) or credprep@csun.edu
