Registering for classes

Students are required to be enrolled and registered for classes prior to the first day. Check the academic calendar for registration dates, deadlines and priority classification. 

Most current students can register ONLINE at MyCSU during registration dates. You must have a current CSU ID and a pin number to register. If you do not know your ID or PIN, you may obtain them online through MyCSU. Be aware that all students must complete the online Registration Agreement before any registration can occur. Log into your MyCSU account and click on Academics to complete this. Furthermore, all undergraduate students, except for those majoring in CAPS online majors, must contact their advisors for clearance prior to registering. Your registration period is determined by your classification. CAPS online majors will have their courses approved by their advisor after they register online.

Students who may not use MyCSU to register include freshmen, students in the Bridge program, students on academic probation and students with a hold blocking registration. If you are in one of these categories, please contact your advisor for assistance in registering.

  • Understanding that extraordinary circumstances arise on rare occasions which may preclude a student from completing an academic term or course, the University has established a Financial Appeals Committee. In these situations, this Committee may waive the refund rules as stated in the catalog, and charges may be adjusted. Petitions to appeal for such an exception may be submitted to Student Accounts either by mail, fax, or in person. All appeals will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Your appeal will be accepted for review by the Student Accounts Office once all information is complete and required documentation has been received. The petition will then be presented to the Financial Appeals Committee for decision. The Committee meets once a month and will review appeals received five business days prior to the meeting. Appeals received within four business days, or less, will not be reviewed until the next month’s meeting. For more information click here: Student Appeals.
