Q. Will there be a Spring 2020 Commencement? After careful consideration and extensive discussion, the University’s 2020 Spring Commencement ceremonies involving both the San Bernardino and Palm Desert campuses have been postponed due to restrictions involving the continuing COVID-19 outbreak. If you are currently registered for the Spring 2020 ceremonies you do not need to do anything at this time. Once we have more information the Commencement Office will let you know what the next steps will be. Questions related to honors cords, commencement registration and commencement fees, please contact the Commencement Office at 909-537-7360 or by email at commencement@csusb.edu. |

Q. What about University Honors for graduation? To be considered for University Honors for graduation, an undergraduate student must have completed a minimum of 45 units of work at CSUSB in courses for which letter grades (A, B, C, and D) were received. University Honors for the postponed June 2020 commencement will be based on a student's units and GPA through the end of their final term. |

Q. When will I receive my Honors Cord? Due to the Spring 2020 Commencement ceremony being postponed, cords will not be distributed for students who petitioned to graduate for Spring 2020 until after Spring 2020 grades have been finalized and degrees have been conferred. For students who petitioned to graduate for Summer 2020, cords will not be distributed until after Summer 2020 grades have been finalized and degrees have been conferred. Spring 2020 recipients will be notified via email from the Office of the Registrar by July 6, and by August 17 for summer recipients. If you’ve already received an email and will be eligible for a higher honors level after your final Spring or Summer 2020 grades, you will be notified of the adjustment and will receive the appropriate cord. |

Q. How does the waitlist work? If a class is waitlisted, a Permission Request cannot be submitted until after the waitlist period ends for each term. For summer, the waitlist period will end on June 23rd. For fall, the waitlist period will end on Aug 28th. Students should enroll themselves to the waitlist for the possibility of being enrolled from the waitlist. The waitlist process will run once nightly. If the students on the waitlist are enrolled, an email confirmation will be sent to each student enrolled. We highly recommend that students check their email daily. |
|
Q. I'm on the waitlist but I no longer want or need the class, what do I need to do? We ask that students remove themselves from the waitlist by dropping the class from their class schedule through myCoyote. Doing this allows other students on the waitlist the opportunity to move up in position for the waitlisted class. |
|
Q. What if I was enrolled by the waitlist process but I no longer want or need the class? If a student is enrolled by the waitlist process and no longer wants or needs the class, students will be required to drop the class through myCoyote by the Census date. For summer, the census is June 30th. For fall, the census is Sept 21st. Drops after census will require students to petition for permission to withdraw with the college dean of their major in order to drop. Approved petitions will be processed by the Office of the Registrar for withdrawal and a grade of W will be assigned. |
|
Q. How do I request approval for a Unit Overload? Unit Overloads can only be requested during the Late Registration period of each term. For summer, late registration begins on June 8th. For fall, late registration begins on July 20th. Use the new online feature Permission Requests for classes that are full (closed), have time conflicts (simultaneous enrollments), will exceed max enrollment units (course overloads), and/or have class requisites (prerequisites, student standing, major, etc). View the How To tutorial to learn now. |
|
Q. What if the class I want to overload is waitlisted? If the class you are requesting to overload is waitlisted, you will need to wait to submit a unit load Permission Request until after the waitlist period ends for each term. For summer, the waitlist period will end on June 23rd. For fall, the waitlist period will end on Aug 28th. |
