First-Year Students

 

Welcome new College of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) student! The College of HSS houses your major here at Cal State Fullerton and we are excited to have you join us this Fall. 

This summer all new first-time first-year students are required to complete Orientation and attend one in-person major advising and course registration session, which is hosted by the major advisors in HSS. 

1) Sign up for Orientation. Information can be found on the Outreach, Recruitment, and Orientation website. 

AND
 
2) Attend one in-person major advising and fall course registration session with advisors from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. 

If you sign up for an in-person Orientation session, you will be automatically signed up for the in-person major advising and fall course registration session occurring on the same date and no further steps will be needed. If you sign up to complete the Orientation online, you will then need to also sign up for an in-person major advising and registration session.  
 
Details on how to register for both the Orientation and the major advising and fall registration sessions will be emailed to your CSUF email in mid-May. You will be able to select one of the dates that your major is listed below:
