INTRODUCTION
You can use the CSUN Mobile App to enroll in classes in two ways:
- Download the free app called CSUN
- Use the web version on a tablet at m.csun.edu
This guide explains how to register for co-requisite classes, use a permission number and wait list for closed classes with the CSUN App.
You may also search for classes, plan class schedules in Registration Planner, and view your enrollment appointments, weekly schedule, grades, and on-campus test scores.
Tip: We recommend having the five-digit class numbers* in hand before enrolling. While the app lets you search for classes from scratch, it’s easier to prepare the class numbers in advance.
*Note: For spring 2022 only, some class sections will have four-digit Class Numbers while others will have five digits. Use the four- or five-digit numbers to enroll as you normally would. Both will work.
Step 1
The CSUN App home page displays your navigation choices as tiles.
- Select the Enrollment tile to register in classes or adjust your schedule.
Step 2
On the login screen that displays, enter your CSUN user ID and password.
Step 3
- The Enrollment menu displays. Select Enroll in Class.
Step 4
The “Statement of Financial Responsibility” displays.
- Read the fee information, due dates and statement of financial responsibility.
- If you accept, select “I have read and understand the above statement” to proceed.
Step 5
If you previously used Registration Planner to generate a favorite schedule, the Add a Class page will include a message that you have a schedule pending from Registration Planner and an Import Cart button. Skip this step if you already have class numbers handy.
- Select the Import button to transfer your desired schedule to your enrollment shopping cart.
Learn more about Registration Planner.
Step 6
If you have no pending schedule from Registration Planner, the standard Add Classes page displays. Here you can enter a class number, search for classes, or use Registration Planner.
This guide assumes you have class numbers handy.
- Enter the 5-digit class number and select Add to Cart.

Let’s say you entered class number 17315, BIOL 101 lecture, section 02. The Details page displays.

YOU ARE NOT YET ENROLLED.

Step 10

- An enrollment results page then confirms success or displays errors.

Step 11
From the “results” page, you can also adjust your schedule.
Select the Action menu to add, drop, swap, or edit classes. “Edit” means to change the basis of grading from a letter grade (A-F) to credit/no credit, but be sure you understand the limitations explained at CR/NC Grading.
