Now that it’s official, it’s time to tie up any loose ends, learn more about your major and get ready for a fantastic first semester as a Matador.

Here’s what to expect as part of the celebration:

– Each of our academic colleges will host a special reception exclusively for incoming students.

– Representatives from Academic Advising, Campus Dining, Financial Aid, New Student Orientation, Student Housing and more will be available to answer questions and help you finish any outstanding checklist items.

– Campus tours will help you learn your way around.

Parking is free, and the first 400 registered students will score free CSUN merch! Just be sure to sign up so we know you’re coming and can send you a parking pass.

There’s something for everyone.

The college receptions are designed exclusively for our new students, but parents, families and other guests are welcome to attend the resource fair and campus tours — and the whole family/group can reconnect for a movie.

Come for the celebration. Stay for the movie!
