Welcome Back, Coyote!
Whether you've been away for a semester or longer, we're glad you're considering returning to CSUSB. We're here to help you navigate your return and continue working toward your academic goals.
Returning Student Admission
This information is for former CSUSB undergraduate students who:
- Were previously enrolled in a degree-seeking bachelor's program or master's program at CSUSB
- Completed at least one term
- Were in good academic standing or on academic notice/probation
- Have had a break in enrollment and need to return to the university
Do I Need to Reapply?
You must reapply to CSUSB if you have not enrolled for two consecutive semesters, not including summer, and do not have an approved leave of absence. If you're returning from an approved leave or after academic disqualification, review the sections below for additional information.
Returning from a Leave of Absence
If you're returning for the term approved on your educational leave, no additional action is required. If you'd like to return earlier, complete the Readmission from a Leave of Absence form and submit it to the Office of the Registrar, Records unit.
If you completed coursework at another college or university while on leave, submit your official transcripts to CSUSB.

Reinstatement After Academic Disqualification

The Academic Regulations and Standards page provides information about reinstatement requirements, the petition process, and applicable deadlines.
Returning after academic disqualification is possible, and resources are available to help you understand the process.
