Getting Started with BeachBoard for CSULB Students and Organization Participants

NEW: Closed-captioned how-to training videos are now available online.

BeachBoard is CSULB’s e-learning environment. Students/Participants may find their course syllabus, lecture materials, assignments, discussions and possibly grades if the instructor has posted them.

BeachBoard Basics

  1. Login to BeachBoard https://beachboard.csulb.edu/ with your MyCSULB campus ID and password.
  2. Under My Courses, click the course you want to access.
  3. Click the links on the left side of the page to access the course documents and tools.

Missing a Course?

  • BeachBoard Services automatically creates a space for every CSULB course but not all courses are made available by instructors.
  • Courses from the current semester are listed under My Courses and are removed two weeks after the semester ends. To view a BeachBoard course from a previous semester, please contact the course instructor.
  • If you have recently enrolled in a course through Enrollment Services, please note that it takes a minimum of one business day for this course to appear under My Courses. For example, if you add a course on Tuesday, the course will not appear in BeachBoard until Wednesday.
  • Also, if you drop or are administratively dropped from a course, you will disappear from My Courses. Your instructor, BeachBoard Services, or the Technology Help Desk cannot (even temporarily) "re-enable" your access to a dropped course. The only way you can access a dropped course on BeachBoard is to re-enroll in that course through Enrollment Services.
