Pre-Orientation: Advice for New Students
Welcome to Cal State East Bay!
A new online pre-orientation is in the works! Admitted students will receive information on how to access the pre-orientation prior to orientation.
The new online pre-orientation will be a self-paced module with detailed information about our campus. Students will be able to complete the module at their own pace and does not have to be completed in one sitting.
More information about the online pre-orientation will be coming soon.
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

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.

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.
Fentanyl and Opioid Overdose - Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Fentanyl is a major contributor to fatal and nonfatal overdoses in California and the United States. Learn more on The Facts About Fentanyl at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). You can watch the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) video here: Protect yourself from the dangers of Fentanyl. Fentanyl Test Strips (FTS) are a harm reduction strategy designed to reduce the negative consequences of drug use, including the risk of fatal and nonfatal overdose. FTS are small strips of paper that can detect the presence of fentanyl in all different kinds of drugs (cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, etc.) and drug forms (pills, powder, and injectables). Fentanyl test strips are free and available at the Student Health & Counseling Services Pharmacy.
Narcan® (Naloxone) is the antidote that reverses opioid overdoses. It is available at the Student Health and Counseling Services and University Police Department at no charge to students. Learn how to administer naloxone
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.
