Redirection Process Within the CSU System

Students in the CSU Redirection Process

The California State University (CSU) redirects admission-eligible applicants who have not been admitted to any CSU campus(es) to which they applied due to capacity limitations to other CSU campuses with capacity to accept more new students. During the open redirection period, students who qualify for redirection will receive instructions to log back into Cal State Apply and select from the CSU campuses that currently have open spaces in specific majors.

Cal Maritime's academic programs emphasize practical, industry-focused training that is key to post-graduation job placement.  Take a look at our Viewbook for an overview of our programs, services and campus life.  Explore financial aid and scholarships available at Cal Maritime.

Cal Maritime is happy to offer admission to CSU-redirected applicants into the following academic programs:

Facilities Engineering Technology, B.S.

Cal Maritime offers a unique educational experience that differs from what is offered by all other CSU campuses.  Cal Maritime students are also cadets in our Corps of Cadets.

We welcome you to our waterfront campus. Information sessions and tours are provided to visitors with appointments.  Reserve your spot on our visit campus page and choose from an in-person or virtual option to learn more about Cal Maritime.
