How to sign-up for Orientation

Orientation Reservations Fall 2025:

Dates

Summer 2025 Orientation will take place in June, July, and August before the beginning of the Fall Semester. Available dates vary for each student depending on major and will be listed in My大发 when the reservation system opens.

Family Orientations

Family Orientations run concurrently to student sessions and are offered on select First Year Orientation dates. We also offer Spanish-Speaking Family Orientations on select dates throughout the summer. You will be able to register guests as you sign-up for your orientation. Reservations for up to 2 guests per student are permitted. 

Rescheduling and Cancellations

Any changes to your Orientation reservation must be made at least 1 week prior to your scheduled session by calling (760) 750-4930 or emailing orientation@csusm.edu. If you would like to cancel your reservation, please review the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

Students with disabilities who would like to attend Orientation

Please contact New Student & Family Programs (NSFP) by phone at (760) 750-4930 or email at orientation@csusm.edu regarding any special accommodation needs. It is requested that individuals requiring auxiliary aids such as closed captioning, sign language interpreters, or alternative format materials notify NSFP at least seven working days in advance. Every reasonable effort will be made to provide reasonable accommodations in an effective and timely manner.

Paying for Orientation

Enrolling in Classes:

At 大发, all students self-enroll in their courses. You are expected to self-enroll into your courses on your assigned enrollment appointment date, which you can view in your Student Center on My大发. There is no course enrollment at Orientation. Need help with choosing your classes? Complete the New Student Enrollment Tutorial! You can also connect with an Academic Advisor if you have already completed the tutorial and still have questions.
