Policies and Procedures
Graduate students should familiarize themselves with the university's policies and procedures, as well as department requirements. To help you navigate any bumps in the road, our office has compiled the Coyote Graduate Student Guidebook. The Guidebook includes information on many of the policies unique to graduate education, campus resources, and a general roadmap for completing your degree. Note: The Guidebook is updated at the beginning of each semester. For the latest information on university policies and graduate coordinator contact information, please contact the appropriate CSUSB department or the Office of Graduate Studies.
Policies that most often concern graduate students are listed below; details are included in the Coyote Graduate Student Guidebook. Please consult the University Bulletin of Courses (course catalog) for complete information on all university policies, requirements, and procedures.
