Orientation will take place, rain or shine.  Majority of the day will be indoors.  However, check-in and campus tours take place outdoors, and you will be walking between buildings and across campus.  Please plan accordingly.

Greetings Pioneers!

Looking forward to seeing you December 6th.  Go Pioneers!

How to Prepare for Your Orientation Day:

Since orientation is a full day event and you'll be exploring campus, be sure to dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes.  Also bring:
  • Campus map and parking permit (see below)
  • Current photo ID
  • Net ID # and Password
  • Any documents sent to you by the University (financial aid docs, transcripts, etc)
  • Umbrella 
If you plan to bring guests to participate in Family/Guest Orientation please bring:
  • A copy of the receipt documenting guest payment online OR cash or check made payable to Cal State East Bay. Include your net ID in the memo line.
Classroom Tours:
  • If you've already selected your classes, we can help you find the location of your class. Be stress-free on the first day of classes by signing up for one of our Hayward Campus classroom tours conducted by our Student Transfer Ambassadors.
  • If you already registered for a tour, you'll receive a separate email from Transfer Student Programs with more details, to take place during lunchtime.
  • If you have not registered already but would like a classroom tour, sign up at the Resource Fair during lunch.  These tours will take place at the end of the orientation day, from 5:00 - 5:45pm.
