About the Program
The CourseMatch program at California State University is a systemwide initiative designed to empower campuses in supporting student progress and degree completion by providing students with access to high-demand, fully online courses across the CSU. CourseMatch helps alleviate enrollment bottlenecks and ensures students can secure the classes they need to stay on track. This collaborative effort not only maximizes instructional resources across campuses but also strengthens CSU’s collective mission of student success. CourseMatch represents an opportunity to expand impact, foster innovation in online education, and work together to remove barriers to timely graduation.
