Steps to Enrollment
- Obtain Academic Advisement. Advisement is recommended as part of the registration process. Some majors require advisement before registration; this requirement will appear on your Registration Access Mailer. Make an advisement appointment by contacting the department of your major, listed at Academic Programs.
- Register for Classes. The myNorthridge Portal Login on the CSUN home page at www.csun.edu is your gateway to SOLAR self service. Use the Student Center (SOLAR) to enroll in courses, pay fees and charges, check financial aid status, view class schedule and grades, and print an unofficial transcript.
- Meet Test Requirements. Plan to take the English Writing Proficiency Examination (WPE) during your first semester of enrollment.
- Apply for Housing. Students who choose to live on campus at Cal State Northridge will find modern, spacious apartment-style living.
- Meet Immunization Requirements. If you were born on or after January 1, 1957, you must present proof of immunity against measles and rubella during your first semester at CSUN.
- Send Required Transcripts. If you are currently enrolled in classes at a college or university, you will need to have your current college send a final official transcript. If the current college or university is your degree school, have the final official transcript sent when the degree has been posted. Your final transcript will be used to verify that all coursework and the degree you indicated as work in progress has been completed.
