About CSUSB
California State University, San

center of intellectual and
cultural activity in Inland
Southern California. Opened in
1965 and set at the foothills of
the beautiful San Bernardino
Mountains, the university serves
more than 20,000 students
each year and graduates about
4,000 students annually.
The “value added” by a CSUSB education
ranks in the top 4 percent in the nation,
according to the Collegiate Learning
Assessment, a sequence of tests used
by hundreds of colleges and universities
nationwide that measure student learning
in the freshman and then in the senior
year. First-to-second year retention
rates are third highest among all CSU
campuses.
CSUSB reflects the dynamic diversity
of the region and has the most diverse
student population of any university
6
in the Inland Empire. It has the second
highest African American and Hispanic
enrollments of all public universities in
California. Seventy percent of those who
graduate are the first in their families to
do so.
The university offers more than 70
traditional Baccalaureate and Master’s
Degree programs, Education Credential
and Certificate programs, and a Doctoral
program. In recent years, CSUSB added its
first Doctorate (Educational Leadership),
Engineering Program (Computer Science
and Engineering), and M.F.A. programs
in Creative Writing and Studio Art and
Design. Every CSUSB academic program
that is eligible has earned national
accreditation. The university also is home
to the California Professor of the Year,
Stuart Sumida.
Cal State San Bernardino has seen
records in enrollment, diversity of
faculty and students, grant and contract
funding, overhead funds, fundraising and
international programs development.

all 33 public universities in California.

Stay Healthy
The Student Health and
Psychological Counseling
Center provides first aid and
basic out-patient care services.
We have a full-time staff Monday through
Friday to care for your student’s needs.
First Aid is always available during
clinic hours to anyone on campus. We
are staffed with doctors and nurse
practitioners, nurses and pharmacists.
Our center has contracted with local Lab
and X-ray services for our students. Our
Counseling and Psychological Services
(CAPS) also has a full time staff of
marriage and family therapists, licensed
psychologists, and supervised interns.
www.universityparent.com/csusb
Regularly enrolled students at CSUSB
pay a Student Health Fee and are
automatically eligible for health and
counseling services at the Student Health
Center and Counseling and Psychological
Services. Student Health Fees support
and operate the Health Center.
Pharmacy
We have a full-time licensed retail
pharmacist who fills the prescriptions
written by our doctors or nurse
practitioners. He stocks about 100 overthe-counter (OTC) items. He also can
fill prescriptions written by an outside
physician; if we don’t have it in stock,
he can order it. Special orders typically
must be pre-paid and will arrive within
24–48 hours.
19
Immunizations
The Student Health Center provides
clearances for the university admissions
requirement. All new and re-admitted CSU
students born after January 1, 1957 are
required to present proof of the following
immunizations: Measles, Rubella vaccine,
and Hepatitis B vaccine for those students
under 18 years of age prior to census date
of first quarter of enrollment. For specific
information about required vaccines call
the Immunization Hotline at (909) 5377356. These immunization requirements
must be fulfilled by the beginning of the
second term of enrollment at CSUSB.
For immunization requirements visit:
healthcenter.csusb.edu.
Health Insurance
Although basic health care is provided by
the Student Health Center, major illness
and injury, as well as certain conditions
requiring a specialist or hospitalization,
are beyond our scope of service. Students
will be referred to an outside provider for
these illnesses or injuries. If your student
does not have health insurance, it is
advisable to purchase insurance on your
own to help cover unforeseen illnesses or
injuries. A supplemental insurance plan is
offered to your CSU student to cover these
types of situations. A detailed brochure is
available in the Student Health Center.
Campus Safety
Student Recreation and Fitness Center
The Student Recreation and Fitness
Center is proud to offer an exciting
fulfillment of creative programs in the
areas of fitness, wellness, intramural
sports, aquatics, outdoor adventure, and
informal recreation. This 37,000 square
foot complex, located at the south end of
campus, houses a 34-foot climbing wall,
8800-square-foot fitness room, multipurpose athletic court, locker rooms, and
two group activity rooms for aerobics,
dance and martial arts classes.

California State University San Bernardino
The CSUSB Police Department is
a state law enforcement agency
that employs 18 sworn police
officers and an active support
staff for 24-hour protection
of the campus community.
The CSUSB Police Department, along
with its 24-hour patrol, deploys a
motor officer for traffic enforcement. A
substation located within the university
housing enhances the safety of university
residents, with officers assigned
specifically to the residential community
on the campus.
The department is responsible for the
471-acre north San Bernardino campus
with its 20,000 students, faculty and
staff, and also for the surrounding area,
including the campus and outlying
residential areas, canyon and foothills.
The Peace Officers of this department
have statewide police authority, and
are vested with law enforcement
powers and responsibilities identical
to the municipal police or sheriff’s
departments in our community.
The Campus Escort Program provides
transportation to CSUSB students, staff,
faculty or visitors who are concerned
about their safety. Escorts are provided by
foot, department cart, or by state vehicle.
Because the University Police Department
operates 24 hours per day, seven days
per week, the Campus Escort Program
can be reached by dialing on-campus
extension 75165 or (909) 537-5165 for
non-emergency requests.
www.universityparent.com/csusb

Campus Emergency
Notification System:
Cal State San Bernardino has
implemented the Connect-ED® service
to allow university administration and the
University Police Department the ability
to reach all students and staff with timesensitive information during unforeseen
events or emergencies using voice, email
and text messaging.
Other Important Numbers:
•
Campus Emergency Hotline,
(909) 537-5999
•
University Police (Non-emergency),
(909) 537-7777
•
Lost and Found,
(909) 537-3782
•
Crime Prevention/Crime Hotline,
(909) 537-7786
Money Matters
During critical situations, CSUSB officials
can use the system to broadcast pertinent
information and provide details on
appropriate response. There is no charge
to subscribe to the service, but call and
text messaging fees from cellular phone
service providers could apply. Students
can log into their MyCoyote account
to update or add any pertinent phone
numbers through the self-service pages.
New college students have
a lot to learn about life on
their own. They face many
simultaneous challenges,
learning independent living as
they adjust to new lifestyles
and campus patterns of
living and learning.
Many college freshmen — indeed, some
transfer students as well — will deal with
day-to-day costs they never before had to
handle themselves.

Credit Is Important: Teach
about Credit Cards
Many students may not realize how
small purchases can add up. Because
of this, some students go into debt. We
encourage you to talk to your student
about credit cards and the long-lasting
effects of credit card debt.
To reduce the likelihood of unmanageable
credit card debt for students, the
university does not allow credit card
companies to solicit students on campus.
However, mail and online solicitation is
rampant, so help your student
understand credit terms.
23
lender is the U.S. government, not a bank
or loan company, and there is no preferred
lender list. CSUSB also administers
federally-backed loans to parents, called
PLUS Loans, which are usually a better
alternative to private lending.
Thank You
Parents and guardians may contact us
directly if their student has submitted
an Authorization to Release Information,
available on our website: (finaid.csusb.
edu/applicationsForms/index.html). This
allows our personnel to speak directly to
a parent or guardian about their student’s
financial aid file, and assures compliance
with the federal Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act (FERPA).
Living Away from Home: Cash Stress
Managing money can be a major source
of stress for students. It’s hard to suddenly
live on a set budget if you’ve never done
so. If you are providing your student with
financial help, we recommend providing
for expenses one month at a time. If
financial aid and earnings will be the major
source of your student’s living expenses,
help him or her learn to plan ahead for the
quarter.
As the academic year progresses, your
student may feel strapped for cash.
Banks are aggressively marketing loans
by calling them “financial aid.” However,
the terms of these loans, especially over
time, may be an undue burden when
your student graduates. It is better to
consider alternatives other than additional
borrowing.
After your student starts
college, help him or her build
money management skills:
24
•
Teach your student how to plan and
maintain a budget.
•
If your student is getting a checking
account for the first time, show
him or her how to balance their
checkbook and record transactions
to prevent bouncing checks.
•
Explain the need to build a good
credit history by paying bills on time
and avoiding debt.
•
Teach your student to plan ahead
and save for emergency needs.
•
Help your student to ask
questions and learn to do things
independently.
We hope that your student will love Cal
State San Bernardino and will have an
academically successful and rewarding
school year. Congratulations to you, the
family, for bringing them this far!
Common-sense Information
about Avoiding Debt
•
Avoid use of credit cards
•
Learn to live within a budget
•
Talk to a financial aid advisor before
you take out a private loan
Be Smart: File a FAFSA
We encourage all students, regardless
of income, to submit a Free Application
