Open University

What is Open U?

Open University provides an opportunity for individuals who are not currently admitted to CSUMB to enroll in university courses on a space-available basis. It’s ideal for working professionals, career changers, or curious learners who want to experience university-level coursework.

How It Works:

  1. Choose a class by browsing the class schedule.
  2. Obtain email approval from the instructor and save it as a PDF to upload with your enrollment form.
  3. Fill out the enrollment form through Unihub. 

4. Wait for enrollment. You will be officially enrolled on the first day of instruction.*  

5. After you’re enrolled, you’ll receive an email with next steps. Once enrolled in your class, you’ll have 4 business days to make your payment in OASIS.

*Note: You cannot be enrolled before the first day of the semester/session.

Fees

The registration fee is $300 per unit plus a $39 per semester campus fee and any additional course or lab fees (if applicable). This fee applies to everyone, whether or not you are a California resident.
