Does anyone know if there will be another CHEM341 section added?

I’m currently #4 on the waitlist for general biochemistry and crossing my fingers I’ll get in. I do find it bizarre that there’s only one section for the class (55 people). It’s a very popular/in demand class amongst biology and chemistry majors so I’m curious if anyone knows if another section will be added.

How is CSUSM in accepting dual enrollment?

My son already received his acceptance and plans on attending next year for his freshmen year. This year he is taking a lot of dual enrollment classes online through another 4 year school (GCU). What are the chances the may accept some of those credits towards his degree? I tried to call the registrar to ask but I get put on hold and then it disconnects after 15 mins or so. I don't know if it matters he will have a few AP credits as well. Thanks!

Commuters- how many days do you drive to campus?

I am planning on transferring fall of ‘25 and was wondering how many times you drive to campus? I live in the Murrieta area so it’s a decent drive with traffic. Are you guys able to split your schedule to have some online classes?

Help a Fellow Student with a Political Science Survey! 🎓📊

Hi everyone!

I'm a Political Science student working on a research project for my class. I'm exploring how often people discuss politics with family and friends, and I would love your help by filling out a short survey!

Who can participate? Current or former CSU students (or anyone in California who feels they can contribute).

What it’s about: The survey asks a few quick questions about how often you discuss politics with family and friends. It’s completely anonymous and should take no more than 3 minutes to complete.

Why it matters: Your responses will help me understand patterns in political discussions, which is a key part of my research project. Plus, you'll support student research, and I’d be forever grateful!

Link to the survey: https://forms.gle/SF7MkYKSLxArkEgs9

Please share this with friends or others who might be interested. If you have any questions about the survey or the project, comment or DM me!

Thanks so much for your time and support

Last day to apply for fall 2025?

Im transferring from community college and I’m a confused about the dates to apply for fall 2025. My counselor told me it was December 2nd, I read it’s December 15 (I’m not in the nursing program). I just want to make sure I can still apply, I’m waiting on my transcripts from high school. Thank you!

My major is child development

Is starting pre-cal fall 2025 my 3rd year bad?

I just got accepted into CSUSM software engineering program and I plan on graduating in 5 years (2028) and I will be coming in fall ‘25 as a 3rd year. I can take pre-calc at my current college right now (online-only spring ‘25) but I wanted to do it in person if possible (at CSUSM fall ‘25) and just substitute it with another class to fill in credits for pre cal/software engineering requirements (at my current college) so I can still catch up when I go to CSUSM next fall.

I also wanted to try to graduate on time by year 5 without having to take any winter/summer, classes if possible.

Is this possible or will I have to just suck it up and graduate by year 6 (2029)/ take extra winter/summer classes to make it on time by year 5?

I have a 3.72 overall GPA in high school but got my first D in AP Calculus. What are my chances of getting into this school as a first-year Computer Science major?

My senior year GPA is a 3.0 UW and 3.25 W as I’ve gotten A’s and B’s in every class except for AP Calc. The other 2 schools I’m applying to are SDSU and CPP. I just applied for Fall 2025, and I think I have a better chance of getting into this university compared to others but I’m also unsure because it is still a very competitive major. Thoughts? 😭

not anymore training

I completely forgot about the annual not anymore training and it didn't help that the outlook email reminder about it got sent to "other" ... love that... anyways I'm doing it today. Wanted to see if anyone knows if they actually withhold your registration for classes if you don't complete it within the time frame they wanted you to. My registration date isn't for a couple days yet so I hope as long as I get it done before then I'll be alright... not like i'm gonna get in any of the classes I need anyways 😐

what are my chances of getting into this waitlisted class?

It's an online class that's part of my major, I'm waitlist #4 and the class seats about 40. I know more spots open up around Dec 16 but I'm not quite sure how that works entirely.

Spring 2025 Classes

Hello! I'm a new student at CSUSM for Spring 2025 and I'm wondering if we're able to sign up for classes for Spring starting now? I'm just a bit new to myCSUSM and I'm not sure how to figure out what classes I need to take along with who to talk to. If someone could give me some details that would be great :)

Dropping cs111

I’m taking cs111 with slott and I currently have an 82 in the class. However I have two homework assignments worth 100 points that I probably won’t be able to turn in that are due, and I’ve turned in maybe half of the labs. She hasn’t put in those scores yet. I honestly feel like I only know maybe 40% of what I’m doing. This is the only cs class I have to take for my major. Should I retake it next semester or just push through?

Taking Kine 301 & 305

For any Kinesiology majors out there, is taking 301 and 305 at the same time going to be difficult or doable or bad idea?
