Paying for Orientation

Enrolling in Classes:

At CSUSM, all students self-enroll in their courses. You are expected to self-enroll into your courses on your assigned enrollment appointment date, which you can view in your Student Center on MyCSUSM. There is no course enrollment at Orientation.

You can also connect with an Academic Advisor if you have already completed the tutorial and still have questions.
