New Students
Fall 2025
New Student Enrollment begins in June!
We have plenty of resources available to help you enroll. See the page below for the
three most important steps to enroll in your Fall 2025 courses. Make note that Fall
2025 course enrollment does not take place at orientation. Instead, you can self-enroll with the many resources that
will be made available to you!
Watch your email for invitations to virtual enrollment workshops and other helpful resources for successfully enrolling in classes, including making connections with Academic Advisors (and Success Coaches - for First Year Students only).

How it works
New Fall 2025 students who have submitted their intent to enroll will receive communications about when and how to enroll in Fall 2025 courses. Students will receive emails as well as messages from Cougarbot with this information, so keep an eye out! Messages relating to Fall 2025 enrollment will be sent in late May/early June.
- Step One: Complete the Enrollment Tutorial
All students are expected to complete the virtual Enrollment Tutorial prior to enrolling in classes or meeting with an Academic Advisor. The Enrollment Tutorial for Fall 2025 will be available on June 2, 2025 and will provide information on how to connect with Academic Advisors (and Success Coaches, for first year students only), whose services become available in the month of June.*
*Specifics are included in the Enrollment Tutorial. Our goal is to assist you with enrollment during the month of June. Enrollment does not take place at orientation!
- Step Two: Attend an enrollment workshop
These virtual workshops will provide step-by-step instructions on how to use the online tools available to CSUSM students such as the Academic Requirements Report (ARR), Degree Planner, and the Schedule Assistant. You will also learn specific information about Fall 2025 enrollment and how to access individualized help with your questions. You may find that many of your questions are answered in these workshops, allowing you to feel confident in managing the enrollment process on your own!
All workshops will be presented in Microsoft Teams. To access Microsoft Teams using your student log-in credentials visit: https://office365.csusm.edu/ Links to each session will be posted below within a week of the workshops.
All sessions are scheduled to run 1.5 to 2 hours to allow time breaks and questions. You are encouraged to attend the whole session to maximize the information being shared.

- Step Three: Enroll on your enrollment date!
On your assigned enrollment date (which will be visible in MyCSUSM) you will be able to begin enrolling in classes (you can enroll through add/drop, but this is the first date you can begin enrolling).
When do I enroll?
You may enroll in courses beginning on your assigned enrollment date through the add/drop period, and view your current course schedule in MyCSUSM. The specific time you may begin enrolling will be assigned to you in mid-May and will be visible in your student center at that time.

Please keep in mind that you may view your enrollment planning tools before your transfer credit has been posted.
