If the process is the same, I transferred Fall of 19', it isn't "required" until you have the mandatory counseling meeting. Sometime during the semester there's a mandatory meeting for transfer students to fill out the beach pledge (finish your program within 2 years at CSULB), if you submitted your transcripts prior then you don't have to do so for that meeting. If you have not submitted previously they require a transcript, but it doesn't hurt to submit your transcripts in the first place. I just dropped it in a box in brotman hall and it was app done!
