Testing

Students required to take the EPT/ELM exam must do so prior to registering for classes at CSUEB. Students must take the EPT/ELM before attending Orientation in order to register for classes at Orientation. The test(s) you are required to take are listed in your letter of admission. You may be exempt from this requirement by achieving certain scores on the SAT or ACT. If you have any questions about whether you are exempt (including whether your scores have been received by Cal State East Bay), call Assessment & Testing at (510) 885-3661. You will not be able to register for classes at CSUEB until you have satisfied this requirement.

The EPT/ELM test dates and registration deadlines are listed here: http://www.testing.csueastbay.edu/eptelm/eptelmdates.php

If you have questions, call Assessment & Testing for information about registration for the exams. EPT/ELM information (including exemption criteria) and registration materials are available in Assessment & Testing, Warren Hall 438, (510) 885-3661.

Educational Opportunity Program

If you have been admitted into the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP)*, a special EOP Orientation Session will be included in University Orientation Program. Attendance at Orientation is mandatory for EOP students. At the session, students will be oriented on the services and benefits of EOP, learn the expectations of being an EOP student, receive assistance in identifying and selecting appropriate classes, attain helpful resources for academic and personal success, and begin a working relationship with a counselor that will last through graduation. Please indicate if you are an EOP student on the reservation form.

*Students who do not attend an EOP Orientation Session will not be able to register for Fall quarter classes. Please call the EOP Office at (510) 885-3751 if you have any questions.
