Paying for Orientation

Enrolling in Classes

At CSUSM, all students self-enroll in their courses. You are expected to self-enroll into your courses on your assigned enrollment appointment date, which you can view in your Student Center on MyCSUSM. There is no course enrollment at Orientation. Need help with choosing your classes? Complete the New Student Enrollment Tutorial! You can also connect with an Academic Advisor if you have already completed the tutorial and still have questions. 

Transfer Student Community

You will be added to a Microsoft Teams group. This Transfer Student Community is a great opportunity to engage with fellow transfer students and learn of CSUSM campus tips and resources. Log in to your MS Teams and engage today! Additional opportunities to get involved at CSUSM as a Transfer student can be found on our Transfer Track page.
