Congratulations on completing high school and being accepted to Cal State LA! Your educational journey is just beginning.
Cal State LA offers new student orientation during the summer (June-August) for students admitted for the fall semester, and during the winter (January) for students admitted for the spring semester. First-time freshmen are strongly encouraged to attend Orientation in person. The majority of Freshman Orientation sessions are for students only; however, there are a limited number of dates where students may be accompanied by one (1) guest (Summer Orientation only).
Freshmen will begin receiving email invitations to sign up for Golden Eagle Orientation on or around November 1, 2023. Please follow the steps in the email to complete your Orientation reservation.
First-Year Connections (Summer Only)
Want to get a head start over the summer? Students who enroll in the Summer Connections 2024 program will have the chance to complete a GE math or English course before the start of the fall semester. Provisionally admitted freshmen should check their Cal State LA email for important information regarding their participation in our summer program. Visit the Early Academic Preparation page for more information.
