High School Dual Enrollment

The High School University Program (HSUP) gives qualified high school students the chance to take real CSUSB courses while still in high school. It’s a powerful way for motivated students to earn college credit, explore university life, and get a head start on their academic journey—without stepping away from their high school commitments.

Program Highlights
  • Open to juniors and seniors (sophomores and freshmen may be considered if space is available).
  • Students must have a 2.5 GPA or higher in college preparatory coursework beginning in the 10th grade.
  • Reduced registration fee of $10.50 per term (additional course or parking fees may apply).
  • Courses count for college credit and appear on an official CSUSB transcript.
Important Dates
  • Spring: Priority Deadline – Aug. 31 | Final Deadline – Sept. 15
  • Fall: Priority Deadline – Dec. 1 | Final Deadline – Jan. 31
Key Information for Counselors
  • Participation in HSUP does not guarantee admission to CSUSB or any CSU campus; students must still meet CSU admission requirements after high school.
  • Students are expected to follow the CSUSB academic calendar, which may differ from their high school’s schedule.
  • Grades and transcripts are issued through CSUSB and can be accessed via the student’s myCoyote portal or the Office of the Registrar.
  • To check if your high school partners with CSUSB, contact HSUP@csusb.edu.

By encouraging qualified students to apply, you can help them save time and money on their degree while gaining confidence in a university setting.
