Coyote First STEP (CFS) is CSUSB’s FREE, nationally recognized and award winning, residential summer experience for students who are required to participate in Early Start math and plan to attend CSUSB in fall 2018. Students will live on-campus in university housing for the first two weeks of the program while they complete a math course and engage in activities which are designed to promote college success. Students will experience life in the residence halls, become better acquainted with the campus and make some new friends along the way. This program was designed with students in mind to provide an introduction to student life at CSUSB while establishing a strong foundation for academic success.
