Welcome Back, Coyote!
We understand that sometimes life takes you in a different direction and you may need to pause your college journey. No matter where you left off, CSUSB is here to help you return and move forward toward your degree.
Apply as a Returning Student
You have two options to get started — either one will put you on track to rejoin the Coyote family.
Option 1: Complete the "Welcome Back" form.
The Welcome Back Form is a quick, simplified way to re-enroll and return to your studies at CSUSB. To complete the form, you’ll need to schedule an appointment with an admissions representative who will guide you through the process.
Schedule your appointment to submit Your Welcome Back Form
Option 2: Submit a Cal State Apply Application.
If you prefer, you can complete a new application through Cal State Apply instead of the Welcome Back Form. Just be sure to select the returning student option, and submit your application before the deadline.

Reinstatement After Academic Disqualification
If you were academically disqualified and want to return to CSUSB, start by reviewing the Retention, Academic Probation, and Disqualification policy.
Full details—including steps to request reinstatement and important deadlines—are available on the Academic Regulations and Standards page. Reinstatement is possible, and our team is here to guide you through the process.
