Next Steps

Once you’re admitted, here’s what to do next.

  • Check your personal and CSULB emails regularly. Email is the primary way that Enrollment Services and your advisors will contact you.
  • Submit all college-level credit & transcripts to CSULB ASAP, including AP/IB/CLEP exams, credit from community colleges & 4-year institutions, military credit, etc. The sooner we receive your credit, the more accurate your tools and advising experience will be.
  • Attend Orientation. All incoming students are required to participate in orientation prior to attending CSULB.
