Official AP scores are submitted electronically to Cal State Apply directly from College Board using the CSU system-wide code #3594. Scores sent to this code are available to all campuses you apply to. Paper copies are not accepted.
Official AP scores from College Board can be received by Cal State Apply at any point during the application cycle, even after your application is submitted; however, some campuses may have a deadline by which they want your scores posted. Once your official AP scores are attached to your application, they cannot be removed.
It is your responsibility to follow up on any missing AP scores in a timely manner. Before contacting Cal State Apply customer service, first confirm if and when College Board sent your scores to Cal State Apply.
If you confirmed that College Board sent your scores to Cal State Apply and your scores are not posted at least two weeks after your test date, contact customer service and provide them with the following details:
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 will contact College Board to troubleshoot.
Note: if your name or date of birth appears differently on your AP 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 College Board processes the scores, then contact customer service so they can manually connect the scores to your application.
