Pre-Orientation Advising

At CSUSM, we believe that Orientation is not just a one day event; it is a process. Students are required to review these videos/presentations prior to their scheduled Orientation. While we cover alot of information at Orientation, we can't cover everything important in the transition as a new CSUSM student in a couple of hours. The videos listed below will remain online throughout the academic year to serve as a resource to new and continuing students.
