Welcome to Beach Central! We're your One-Stop Center for Enrollment Services — that means we've brought together staff from Admissions, Student Records, and Financial Aid to answer your questions and best support you as you navigate your education at CSULB. Being a student will require completing tasks like adding and dropping classes, submitting important documents for financial aid, and applying for graduation. Beach Central is available to help you understand and complete those tasks.
To best ensure the safety of the campus community, services will be offered remotely during the Fall 2020 semester. We encourage students to use our virtual services (including our queue, appointments, and ticketing systems) during this time. We are committed to your academic success and look forward to talking to you soon. Please see Reuniting the Beach for more information.
