Student Outreach and Recruitment

Welcome to Student Outreach and Recruitment (SOAR) at California State University, Northridge. Our offices are now open for in-person services, though we may experience unexpected staffing shortages due to COVID-19. We appreciate your patience and flexibility if we need to reschedule your appointment or offer services virtually.

CSUN is committed to the health, safety and well-being of the Matador community. Visit Matadors Forward for the latest information about university operations and activities.

We now offer in-person and virtual preadmissions appointments, in-person family and group campus tours, and testing. We’ll also continue to offer virtual services with workshops, presentations and more.

Before coming to campus

In an effort to protect your family, our staff, students, and other attendees, CSUN requires all visitors to provide proof of vaccination and booster or a negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours of your visit. Home tests will not be accepted.

For the health and safety of our guests, students and staff, all visitors must complete the Visitor Health Screening Survey before coming to campus. You must be ready to provide proof of completing this survey when arriving on campus.

In accordance with California State University and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, all CSUN visitors must also practice social distancing and wear masks that properly cover their nose and mouth when indoors.
