Cal State East Bay requires that all newly admitted Freshman and Transfer students attend a New Student Orientation before starting for their first term at Cal State East Bay
The following information will help you navigate the basics at Cal State East Bay before Orientation. You should review the following videos and web links before attending Orientation, so you are better prepared to understand the essential information provided at the sessions.
MyCSUEB - MyCSUEB is the student’s online self-service center for enrollment transactions and personal information about their educational record.

Student Conduct - Student Conduct, Rights & Responsibilities (SCRR) supports the academic mission of Cal State East Bay through administering the student code of conduct with a focus on learning through self-reflection and personal accountability for behavior and decisions. This include the prevention of cyber bullying or any other ways that endangers students. SCRR partners with students, faculty, and staff to be a community of scholars where all strive to become the best version of themselves.
Title IX/DHR - The university's primary concern is the safety of its campus community members. We are committed to ensuring a safe working and learning environment. Title IX protects students, educators and school employees against all forms of sex or gender discrimination, including: sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual exploitation, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and retaliation. Students or staff experiencing discrimination based on sex or gender should contact campus Title IX Administrators.
Students with Dependents - AB 2881 is a new California law aiming to improve support for students who are students and are caring for their children. We recognize and understand that being a student with dependents has many responsibilities.
