Welcome

Welcome to Cal State L.A.! We are glad you choose to continue your education at Cal State L.A. We hope to help you make your transition a smooth and positive experience. 

Orientation is your first link between you and the University. It is a program designed to promote your academic achievement and personal development. It is essentially the first day of school. The foundation of your experience at Cal State L.A. begins with Orientation!

The program includes academic and student services information, a campus tour, as well as an opportunity to meet faculty, staff, and new and continuing students.

The Fall 2012 Orientation Programs are offered July-August 2012. Eligible new students will be mailed an Orientation postcard in June. Participation in Orientation is mandatory for all new freshmen students. Attendance for transfer students is not required, but strongly recommended.

For more information, or if you feel you should have received a brochure, please contact the University Orientation Program at (323) 343-3195.
