All first-semester students – including International students – are required to participate in the SOAR Experience that is comprised of the Advising & Registration Process and Orientation Workshop Process. Additionally, International students must attend a Center for International Education (CIE) Immigration Clearance Session to avoid visa status issues that may impact attendance at the university.
International freshmen can visit SOAR Information for Freshman for a step-by-step process to participating in the SOAR Experience. Virtual orientation workshops for International freshmen take place:
Friday, July 1
Thursday, August 5
Monday, August 9
International transfer students can visit SOAR Information for Transfer Information for deadlines, details, and links to completing the SOAR Experience.
For additional CIE information, please email cie-admission@csulb.edu or visit the Center for International Education website.
