Returning Student Information

Welcome Back to CSUDH!

Once a Toro, Always a Toro!

Recognizing that students must step out sometimes, CSUDH welcomes its returning students back to campus, where our advising staff will support you from the time you reapply until you finish your bachelor’s degree and graduate.

If you are a returning CSUDH student who wants to finish your bachelor’s degree, you must first attend a one-on-one advising session with an advisor.

During your appointment, an academic advisor will review:

Updates on the readmissions process and current deadlines for the application filing period
Assistance in building an action plan to return to CSUDH
Definitions of Good Academic Standing and Probation/Academic Disqualification
Information on the Graduation Reactivation process for students who already filed for graduation

You may make an appointment by calling 310-243-3538, emailing uac@csudh.edu, or visiting our office in WH A220.
