This is a tutorial only. No login is required.

INTRODUCTION

Like last summer, Summer 2024 will be offered on a state-support basis. Check out these resources:

Set your summer registration appointment to later enroll in summer classes based on whether you are a CSUN student or a visitor:

— CSUN Students (i.e., eligible new and continuing students who are admitted and enrolled in a CSUN degree program):

  1. Set your own appointment to register on a "first come, first served" basis from March 12 through 18, 2024.
  2. Then enroll starting March 19 during Registration-by-Appointment and after.
  3. No appointment is required starting April 2.
  4. Student enrolling in a special year-round CSUN cohort program, ask your program advisor if permission numbers are required.
  5. SPRINT students will be notified in April of the list of eligible classes and their eligibility to enroll. Eligibility in a previous year does not indicate eligibility in the current year.

— Visiting Students (i.e., not admitted to, or enrolled in, a CSUN degree program):

  1. Wait to register until April 2, 2024, when the Nonrestrictive Registration period begins. No appointment is required.
  2. Before enrolling, visiting summer students should set up their CSUN account, user ID and password. See How to Establish Yourself in the System or contact The Tseng College (Extension) Summer).
  3. Different rules, deadlines and fees may apply. Learn more at Tseng College University Access Programs.
