Transfer and Returning Orientation
Transfer and Returning Student Orientation (TRSO) is a mandatory enrollment requirement - all students must register, pay the non-refundable $99 NSO fee, and attend their scheduled NSO date to register for courses. If a student does not attend TRSO, they will be marked as not attended and will not be able to enroll.
The Spring & Fall 2024 TRSO Program is an IN-PERSON program held at the CSUDH campus. At this time, we are not offering an online/virtual program in replacement of the in-person TRSO.
The TRSO program is committed to ensuring that the incoming class of students will receive an onboarding experience that prepares them well for their first term as new Toros. To be successful in any college setting, you need to understand not only the academics, but the resources, support, and involvement opportunities as well.
During TRSO, you will meet with your academic college and academic advisors. Students will also register for courses as part of the TRSO program.
