Coyote First STEP (CFS) is CSUSB’s FREE, nationally recognized and award winning, fully residential summer experience for students who are required to participate in Early Start math and plan to attend CSUSB in fall 2017. Students will live on-campus in university housing for the duration of the program while they complete courses 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.

If you plan to attend CSUSB in Fall 2017, and are required to complete Early Start math you are strongly encouraged to participate in Coyote First STEP.
If you plan to attend CSUSB in Fall 2017, and are ONLY required to participate in Early Start English based on your English Placement test (EPT) scores, you may meet the requirement at CSUSB by enrolling in Early Start English (ESE 99), or at another CSU. Please contact the Early Start Program and Coyote First STEP call center for information on how to meet the Early Start English requirement at another CSU.
