Official GRE Scores

Process

Official GRE Scores are submitted electronically to Cal State Apply directly from ETS using the campus-specific GRE codes. Paper copies are not accepted. 

Official GRE scores from ETS can be received by Cal State Apply at any point during the application cycle, even after your application is submitted. Note, however, some programs may have a deadline by which they want your scores posted. Once your official GRE scores are attached to your application, they cannot be removed. Scores sent to any campus within the California State University will be available to any campus you apply to.

To submit your official GRE scores to Cal State Apply:

1. Provide the campus-specific GRE code(s) to ETS and request that your scores be released. Refer to ETS for the correct codes. Check with ETS about their turnaround and processing times. 
2. After ETS processing, scores are sent to Cal State Apply in batches and then posted to applications every 2-3 days. Only scores that you requested using the campus-specific GRE code(s) will post to your application. You can view scores attached to your application in the Standardized Tests section of the Check Status tab.

It is your responsibility to follow up on any missing GRE scores in a timely manner. If your scores are not posted within ETS's processing period, contact customer service and provide them with the following details:

• First and last names
• Date of birth
• GRE Registration ID Number
• CAS ID
• Test date and date scores were sent by ETS

We will use this information to determine if we have received the batch, and to locate your scores, if possible. If your scores aren't found, we'll contact ETS to troubleshoot.

Note: If your name or date of birth appears differently on your GRE than it does on your Cal State Apply application, your scores will not automatically post to your account. This often happens with applicants with hyphens, apostrophes, etc., in their names. Wait until ETS processes the scores, then contact application support so we can manually connect the scores to your application.
