While we continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, our highest priority continues to be the health and well-being of everyone who comes to our registration windows. As we navigate the evolving impact of coronavirus on our communities, we are temporarily closing in-person registration to help limit person-to-person contact. As a result, registration requests and payments can be made online for CSULB and non-CSULB students to ensure that you are still able to enroll seamlessly in your courses. If you have any questions, please email us.
