Welcome to Spring 2027 New Student Orientation at Cal State Monterey Bay!

New Student Orientation is designed to help you feel prepared, connected, and confident as you begin your CSUMB journey. During Orientation, you’ll have opportunities to connect with other incoming students, learn about campus resources and services, and receive important information to support your transition to CSUMB. For additional information about Orientation and how to prepare, visit the New Student Orientation website.

Orientation Fee

Although MyRaft may display this event as “Free” during registration, all incoming students are assessed a $140 New Student Orientation fee, regardless of attendance.

No student Orientation fee payment is required when registering in MyRaft.
The $140 fee will be posted directly to your student account.
The Orientation fee is due with your other applicable university tuition and fees.

Online Orientation

All incoming students are also required to complete the Online Orientation in Canvas, which is separate from the in-person Orientation experience. The self-guided module provides important information and resources to help prepare you for your transition to CSUMB. Please continue checking your CSUMB email for information regarding Online Orientation and other important next steps.

Bringing a Guest?

Students are welcome to bring supporters to Orientation! Students and guests will participate in separate program tracks throughout much of the day so each group receives information designed specifically for their experience.

Guest Fee: $40 per person
Each guest must be registered and the guest fee paid in advance.
Guest registration is not complete until payment has been received.

Check-In & Parking

Check-in begins at 8:00 a.m. A continental breakfast will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to park in Lot 71. Please review current campus parking information and requirements before arriving, as parking regulations are enforced on campus.
