Out-of-State Students
Out-of-State Students
One of the biggest decisions you will make in your life will be which college to attend, and that decision is made even bigger by choosing a college outside of your home state. At CBU, we recognize how overwhelming this process can be. We have compiled a list of resources all in one place to help you through this process and provide guidance on some of those most commonly asked questions from families who live outside of California.
After you review the resources below, we encourage you to take your first step in the decision-making process by applying to CBU!
No Out-of-State Tuition!

We unfortunately do not offer a shuttle from the airport to campus.Riverside is centrally located in Southern California and is close to many popular attractions.
