We are excited that you've chosen CSUSB to continue your academic journey. Our Orientation program is designed specifically for transfer students like you, providing essential resources and support to ensure a smooth transition into the CSUSB community.
Recognizing that your needs differ from those of first-year freshmen, we’ve crafted a specialized orientation session that focuses on the most critical information for your success as a transfer student. This program will help you navigate your new academic environment and connect with key campus resources to support your academic and personal growth.
We’re here to help you succeed, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the Coyote family!

Transfer Orientation will consist of:
Pre-Orientation: After registering for Orientation please allow 24-48 hours to access the Pre-online Orientation modules under the “checklist items menu” This will begin introducing you to campus resources, and get a taste of what it means to be a student at CSUSB.
Orientation: Historically, Orientation has been an all-day event! Please be prepared to spend the entire day on campus, where you’ll have the opportunity to connect with your peers, explore the campus, and engage in valuable sessions.
Light refreshments and snacks, including lunch, will be provided throughout the day.
During this experience, you’ll also have the chance to:
- Meet with academic advisors to discuss your course plans
- Learn about important campus resources, including financial aid and more
- Get to know various departments and services to set you up for success at CSUSB
We look forward to welcoming you and ensuring you have a memorable and informative day!
