1. Go to the CSULB Password Utility and select Next.
2. Then, enter your new CSULB email address (found in your admission email) and follow the instructions to set the password for your account.
3. To set your password, you will need to confirm that it’s really you logging in by getting a verification code through a phone call or text message. (The phone number will be the one you used in your Cal State Apply application.)

After you activate your account, you can log in to CSULB Single Sign-On at https://sso.csulb.edu, which is where you will be able to access your new email and other online services for students.

Once you accept your admission offer, you will be required to attend a mandatory Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR) session before the start of classes in the Fall. Learn more about SOAR.
