about open university

Open University Enrollment allows students not currently admitted to CSUF to take courses from the regular University schedule of degree classes.

You may request to enroll in courses at the undergraduate level (100-400 level) where you have read course descriptions and can acknowledge you meet the stated prerequisites or the equivalent of those courses. Some academic departments may ask to see an unofficial transcript at the approval level.

Graduate-level courses (500 level) require additional consultation and approvals before you may start the request-to-add permission process. Please consult directly with the graduate advisor/program before requesting to add this type of course.

Although students may request to add closed or wait-listed classes, Open University Enrollment is on a space-available basis.

The request for enrollment process during the Winter and Summer terms is an online interface on this site. Please read those directions and timelines.

The request for approval and enrollment process during Spring and Fall semesters is also an online interface on this site, but a different process. Please read those directions and timelines.
