Registration

The Office of the Registrar processes student registration at the University. For more information about registration, please visit the following pages:

The CBE Office of Undergraduate Advising distributes permission codes for all undergraduate CBE courses, provides department stamps for withdrawals from courses, processes requests to exceed maximum units for CBE majors, and can assist with many other registration-related activities  for CBE majors/minors or courses. We have also put together this guide to assist our new students:  How to Register for CBE Undergraduate Courses.

CBE Undergraduate Course Prerequisites  

Most major courses have prerequisites. Students should know them before they register as they are strictly enforced. It is important that students complete the prerequisites for each course so that they can be well-prepared and set themselves up for success. Students may be administratively dropped if you do not meet course requirements. Permission numbers may be required if prerequisites were completed outside of CSUEB.

WHO NEEDS A PERMISSION NUMBER

  • Students who are in progress of completing their prerequisite(s) outside of Cal State Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV.
  • Students who still need to submit an updated official transcript showing completion of their prerequisite(s).

Request to Exceed Maximum Units for CBE Undergraduate Students

Students may register for a combined maximum of 18 units of classes plus waiting list during their assigned enrollment period for a regular semester (the limit is 13 units for Summer Session, and 4 units for Winter Intersession). After the initial enrollment period, “Graduating Students” will be permitted to enroll and waitlist up to a maximum of 22 units for a regular semester. “Graduating Students” are defined as undergraduate students who have completed 90 units and have filed for graduation by the priority deadline, by the time enrollment appointments have been assigned.

  • For juniors and seniors with a GPA of 3.00 or above, our advisors will review requests and forward approved requests to the Associate Dean of the College of Business & Economics (CBE) for further consideration.
  • For students with a GPA below 3.00 or are freshmen or sophomores, our advisors will review requests and forward approved requests to the Dean of Academic Programs & Services (APS) for further consideration.

Requests to exceed maximum units are reviewed on a case by case basis.
