What to do after Class Registration

Once you have completed class registration by receiving a confirmation from your Student Success Coach regarding your class schedule, you will be directed to the remaining steps needed to start at CBU. This includes finalizing arrangements to live on campus, completing all applicable forms, exploring payment options and more. 

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will I need to plan which classes to register in before my Class Registration Week?

  No you will not! You'll learn how to choose the right classes as you complete the process. 

• How will I know which classes to choose? 

  During the process you will watch instructional videos on how to know which classes to choose based on your major and any units that will transfer in. If you need help then you can work with your Student Success Coach to assist you. 

• Can I extend my deadline to register in classes? 

  While the process typically only takes 2 hours, you can extend your deadline if you need to. Just let your Student Success Coach know. 

• How will I know that I picked the right classes? 

  Once your schedule is finalized, then let your Student Success Coach know. Once your Student Success Coach has reviewed your schedule then they will let you know it is good to go! 

• Does CBU accept AP/IB/CLEP/DSST exams or Dual Enrollment courses for credit?

  CBU accepts AP, IB, CLEP and DSST tests and dual enrollment courses from regionally accredited institutions. Visit our transfer agreements website to see what tests scores are required for exams to transfer in for credit as well as transfer agreements CBU has with some local institutions. In order to receive credit official test scores and transcripts must be sent to CBU. For dual-enrollment students, an official transcript from the college or university that the dual-enrollment course is in conjunction with is required. 

  If you are transferring from a college or university and took an AP, IB, CLEP or DSST exam, you may receive credit for those exams at CBU. In order to do so, you will need to send an official copy of the exam to CBU. 

• What if I won't receive my AP exam score or my college course final grade until after I register for classes?

  If this is your situation there are a few things that you can do.

  1. Let your Student Success Coach know while you are registering for classes and they can direct you on the best plan.

  2. Send us the official copy of the test scores or transcripts as soon as they are available.

  3. You can make changes to your schedule once CBU receives those final transcripts! Your Student Success Coach is an expert on the classes needed for your major, and they will review and sign off on your initial schedule. However, you are able to make changes to your schedule after it has been reviewed. 

• Can I put together my degree plan (4 year class schedule) now?
  This process is intended to register you in your first semester classes only.  However, after you complete New Student Class Registration, you may reach out to your Student Success Coach to help you build out a 4 year plan. 
• Will I have enough time to walk across campus between classes?
  The standard time between classes is 15 minutes and should be sufficient for you to make it to class on time from any location on campus. Shuttles are also available for certain class locations at certain times (i.e. CBU Flight Operations at the Riverside airport).
• What if I have international transcripts?
  In order to evaluate your international college-level transcripts in sufficient time for Class Registration, please plan to send all official final transcripts (with English translations if necessary – we recommend University Language Services) at least 3 weeks prior to your Class Registration date. Only an official IEE Evaluation may be used to evaluate the official college transcript to receive transfer units.                         
• Do I need to send in transcripts from every institution that I attended?
  Yes. Please submit transcripts from any college or university you have attended. This includes any college or university course work you took as part of a dual enrollment program at your high school. If you participated in dual enrollment, you must submit the college or university transcripts so they can be evaluated for possible credit. If you do not submit all your transcripts you risk a hold being placed on your account that will prevent registration for future terms.
• Does California Baptist University accept courses that are graded as pass/fail?

  Pass/fail courses are accepted as long as the pass is equivalent to a C- or better. If this cannot be determined, the class is not eligible for transfer.

• What is the conversion between quarter and semester units?

  The quarter unit value is divided by 1.5 to get the semester unit value. For example, a 4 quarter unit course would convert to 2.67 semester units.

• How can I find out what courses transferred into California Baptist University and how they are applying towards my degree requirements?

  You will learn how to do this once you begin the Class Registration Week. It will be posted on your Degree Guide through InsideCBU. Your Degree Guide will show you all your degree requirements and if there is any course(s) currently meeting your requirements. Because your transcripts have not been evaluated, there may not be anything currently listed on your Degree Guide. However, when you begin Class Registration, it will be up-to-date based on the transcripts you have submitted. 

• My course did not transfer like I expected. Is there anything I can do about that?

  If you believe one of your classes could fulfill a different degree requirement or course, you can submit an Academic Variance request to have the course reviewed. The Academic Variance form is available through InsideCBU under "Academic Variances."

• Can I still apply for housing?
  Yes you can still apply for housing! You can apply for housing here. A $100 non-refundable housing reservation fee is required to complete the application. 
• What are the different housing options available to students?
  You can check out all of the different living areas, including 360 photos and descriptions here. A housing application is required to live on campus. 
• When will I receive my official billing statement?
  After you register for classes, you will receive an official bill called your "course and fee statement." The Course and Fee Statement shows what courses you have registered for and provides the estimated charges and pending or accepted financial aid associated to that semester. We'd love to help you figure everything out if you have questions about billing.
• Can I take care of anything else to be ready to start at CBU? 
  Yes! We'd love for you to get a head start on a few items that are essential to beginning at CBU. A comprehensive list of these things can be found on the enrolled page. 

  • Health Insurance is required for all Traditional Undergraduate students at CBU enrolled in 7 units or more.  Students are automatically enrolled in and billed for the Student Health Insurance Plan unless an online waiver form is submitted showing proof of insurance. If you wish to waive the health insurance you can do so here.
  • Complete the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) form here. This form grants or denies permission for CBU to discuss student information with, for example, a parent or guardian who is named on the form.
  • Submit your Tuition and Fee Agreement by going to the Student Accounts tab on InsideCBU. This required agreement expresses you understand your responsibility to pay your tuition and fees to CBU on time each semester. You must submit the Tuition and Fee Agreement before the semester begins.
