My (Admissions) Checklist

This is a tutorial only. No login is required.

Introduction

You’ve applied to Cal State Northridge....You’ve activated your CSUN User ID and Password.... What’s next? 

Review My Checklist!

My Checklist is your personal list of requirements to complete the application process. The list tells you what’s missing—your Incomplete Tasks. It also confirms the items CSUN has received and evaluated—your Completed Tasks.

My Checklist stays with you throughout your student career at Northridge. If you’re admitted and eligible to enroll in classes, you’ll also see your enrollment appointment, registration holds, total outstanding charges due, and financial aid to-do lists (if applicable). My Checklist changes over time with your situation, so review it regularly.
