Extended Studeies CSULA

Registration Information

Registering for Extended Studies classes is easy and flexible:  You do not need transcripts or a formal application to the university. 

Simply obtain a Registration Form for the quarter you intend to enroll – you may find this form on our website www.calstatela.edu/extension, or in the Extended Studies and International Programs (CESIP) Welcome Center, University-Student Union, Room 105 on campus.  Then, on the registration form, list the course(s) you wish to take, including course and section numbers.  For most online, certificate, professional training, test preparation, and personal enrichment courses, you are finished and can proceed paying for your course(s).

For open university courses, attend the first meeting of the class, obtain the instructor’s signature to “add” you to the class (Open University classes are offered on a “space available” basis), and obtain the departmental stamp from the department offering the course (the Computer Science department office, e.g., if you are taking a computer science course).  There are some additional requirements if you will be taking a graduate level course (course numbers 500 and above) or a non-classroom course.  See our Frequently Asked Questions section, below, or call the CESIP office at (323) 343-4900 for additional information.
