The CSU 2027-2028 Impacted Programs Matrix (July 2026) lists East Bay as not campus-impacted, with only basic Nursing impacted. For Fall 2027 other transfer majors only require CSU minimum eligibility.
| Impacted major | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Nursing (Pre-Licensure BSN) | Fall 2027 admission is at the Hayward campus only. NursingCAS and Cal State Apply open October 1 and close at the CSU priority deadline, typically November 30, and an official TEAS score and personal statement are due by that deadline or the applicant is denied. |
| Nursing (Pre-Licensure BSN), criteria | For the Spring 2026 and Fall 2026 cycles, applicants needed a 3.00 prerequisite GPA, a TEAS of at least 70% overall, and to fall in a priority group. Applicants outside the priority groups are not likely to be admitted. |
