Welcome to YOUR Coyote Experience
Coyote Experience is CSUSB's student success framework designed to help you feel connected, confident, and supported from your first day on campus through graduation. Whether you're just starting college or transferring to CSUSB, the Coyote Experience helps you find your people, explore your interests, and build a path towards your goals.
Start Strong at CSUSB
Your Coyote Experience begins with the First-Year Experience, including a University Studies success course for all first-time first-year students. This course is designed to help you successfully transition to college life by giving you the tools, support, and confidence you need.
Through the course, you will:
- Learn how to navigate college level academic work and campus life
- Get connected to academic advising, tutoring, and support services
- Discover campus resources that support your success and overall well-being
- Explore your interests, values, and goals
This is where you start building your academic, social, and personal foundations.
Explore Your Interests and Find Your People
One of the most exciting parts of the Coyote Experience is Interest Pack events, workshops, and opportunities. Interest pack events bring communities of students together by shared interests and passions. Interest packs help you explore what matters to you while connecting with students who are also engaged in learning about themselves and their interests.
Interest Packs focus on themes like:
- Social Justice & Community Impact
- Innovation, Ideas & Entrepreneurship
- Science, Technology, & Research
- Global Culture & Identity
- Current Trends in Fashion, Art, and Creative Expression
- Media, Music, and Celebrity/Popular Culture
Interest packs provide fun ways to explore majors, academic pathways, and career options by connecting what you care about to what you study and ultimately what you want to do after college.
