Before Orientation

Get yourself ready to show your PIONEER PRIDE by:

  1. Review the admitted student brochure in your admission packet to ensure you have completed all requirements. Be sure to accept your admission offer and submit your final transcript by the July 15th deadline. Students can register for an available Orientation session once they have accepted the admission offer on the MyCSUEB student portal.
  2. Contact the EOP Office if you have been admitted through the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP).
  3. Review your financial aid information and visit the Financial Aid website if you have any questions or for more information. Click here to view a short Financial Aid video.
  4. Contact Student Life and Leadership Programs if you need accessibility assistance. You may also contact the Accessibility Services department if you need to make special requests for Orientation or as an incoming student.
  5. Review the First-Year Pathways to understand more about your upcoming advising options and course registration process.
  6. Check your student Horizon email address. All Orientation communications, updated information and parking permit for day-of event will be sent to your student Horizon email account. As a CSUEB student, you are responsible for managing your communication as best fits your needs.

Educational Opportunity Program

If you have been admitted into the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), a special EOP Orientation Session will be included in University Orientation Programs. Attendance at Orientation is mandatory for EOP students. At these sessions, students will be oriented on the services and benefits of EOP, learn the expectations of being an EOP student, receive assistance in identifying and selecting appropriate classes, attain helpful resources for academic and personal success, and begin a working relationship with a counselor that will last through graduation. Please indicate if you are an EOP student on the reservation form.
