About
Open University is a program that 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 for Approval 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 waitlisted classes, enrollment via Open University is on a space-available basis.
