File Re-Review Request

Information and guidelines

EOP conditionally accepts students based on each applicant's self-reported academic qualifications, financial documentation and information, descriptive narratives provided on the EOP Application, and timely submission of two letters of recommendation.

EOP final acceptance decisions are rendered after final academic qualifications, official financial documentation and information are reviewed and reconciled by EOP, the Office of Admissions and the Office of Financial Aid. Students will be denied admissions to EOP if the ongoing reconciliation process renders applicants ineligible (March-August).

File re-review requests for final decisions are conducted only in cases of extreme student circumstances or due to EOP administrative processing errors.

The following circumstances are NOT considered as valid reasons for a File Re-Review Request

The Applicant:

  • Missed the application deadline, including the autobiographical questions and recommendations
  • Did not adhere to CSUSM admissions deadlines.
  • Does not meet EOP eligibility guidelines, including the Estimated Family Contribution criteria.
  • Was denied to the university due to CSUSM Impaction Criteria.
