New Applicants

If you have recently applied to attend CSUSM, your User ID is located in the email you received from Admissions & Recruitment. Your password will be an eight character password formatted as follows - the first two letters of your first name, the first two letters of your last name and the last four digits of your User ID (e.g. JADE5678).
Please see the Admissions website for additional information or contact Cougar Central at apply@csusm.edu or (760)750-4848.
