High School Dual Enrollment

Get a Head Start with CSUSB’s High School University Program (HSUP)

Why wait until after graduation to start your college journey?

You’ll earn college credit, explore university life, and get a feel for what it’s like to be part of the Coyote community—all while keeping your high school schedule on track.

Program Fees  

As an HSUP student, you’ll pay a reduced registration fee of just $10.50 per term. Some courses may also include activity or lab fees, and if you plan to drive to campus, you’ll need to purchase a parking permit.

 

Class Schedule    

Keep in mind that CSUSB’s academic calendar may not always line up with your high school’s. If your high school is closed but CSUSB is in session, you’ll still be expected to attend your university class. Be sure to check the class schedule, your course syllabus, and the CSUSB academic calendar for important dates and holidays.
