Welcome New CSUSM Cougars!

New Student & Family Programs (NSFP) is here to support new students and their families in a successful transition to university life at CSUSM, from admission through the first year. We aim to create a welcoming environment for new students and families, instill a sense of pride in campus spirit and traditions, and connect students and families to services and resources available on campus.
