Registration dates differ from the Main Campus so please check our website for EE Degree Programs registration dates.
Students can register for courses through their online MyCSUB portal or by submitting and Add form to the Extended Education (EE) Degree Programs office via fax or email.
Search for Classes
EE Degree Programs students can find courses by reviewing the schedule. This schedule includes courses, course registration numbers, fees, room assignments, and instructor contact information, if available.

Due to privacy issues, payments via fax, email, or phone cannot be accepted. Once registered, students may go online to their MyCSUB account and pay the balance.

If a student chooses to forward his or her university email account, he or she is responsible for all information, including attachments, sent to any other email account. CSUB provides students with an email account upon the student’s enrollment to the institution. This account is free of charge and remains active one calendar year following the last enrolled term. Your Runner Email account can be accessed at www.csub.edu/email and using your MyCSUB log-in credentials.
ALL CORRESPONDENCE FROM YOUR INSTRUCTORS AND OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE CAMPUS AND OUR OFFICE WILL BE SENT TO THIS EMAIL ADDRESS – PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT DAILY!
