Registration Instructions for the New CGE Student

Currently, students may register only for CGE credit classes online (if you wish to enroll in Non-Credit CGE classes you must either enroll in person or by mail.)

New students are students who have not enrolled at California State University, Fresno, and have no Student ID number.  New students must create an account to access the online My Fresno State registration system.
