California Cross Enrollment
Undergraduate students enrolled at CSUN may enroll without formal admission and without payment of additional State University Fees in one course each academic term at a campus of the University of California or participating campuses of the California Community Colleges on a space available basis. For a Cross Enrollment application and instructions, go to the Student Forms website.
Concurrent Enrollment
Undergraduate students may be simultaneously registered at CSUN and another institution if the combined enrollment does not exceed 19 units. Students enrolling concurrently should be aware of the policies governing acceptance of transfer credits. Contact the Office of Admissions and Records for information concerning concurrent enrollment procedures and regulations. Concurrent enrollment at another institution is not to be confused with the CSU Intrasystem Concurrent Enrollment Program.
Enrollment in Courses after Graduation
Registration Access Mailers for the semester following graduation from CSUN are not issued automatically. Students interested in enrolling in courses after they have completed the B.A. or B.S. degrees at CSUN must file a graduate application for admission to the University. There is a $55.00 fee for processing the admission application. Admission to graduate programs is selective. Students interested in a particular program should seek advice from the academic department they plan to enter.

National Student Exchange
The National Student Exchange (NSE) provides full-time CSUN students with an opportunity to attend one of more than 190 other colleges and universities across the country at a cost similar to what they would pay to attend CSUN. NSE offers students the opportunity to experience college life and course work at a different university for a semester or a year, to live in another part of the U.S., and to travel. Financial Aid is applicable. Currently enrolled full-time students with a minimum GPA of 2.5 who will have at least sophomore standing during the planned exchange are invited to apply. In addition, it is possible to access various international programs via NSE. Thus, CSUN students may access NSE to study in countries not available through the CSU system.
