Fall Break Reminder: An entire week off?!

Spring 2022 Registration: Spring 2022 is around the corner
We encourage you to review the Schedule of Classes to find a course schedule that best fits your academic needs.
Because many classes will be returning to face-to-face instruction, only some classes will be offered entirely online. Therefore, most students should expect to have at least some face-to-face instruction.

Provost Karyn Scissum Gunn sits down with CSULB President Jane Close Conoley to discuss repopulation, EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) on our campus, and plans for the future.
