Open University: Access to Academic Credit Courses at Cal State Fullerton What is CSUF Open University? Open University (OU) at CSUF is an opportunity for non-admitted students to enroll as a guest in the regular university schedule of courses if space is available. You may request to enroll in courses at the undergraduate level (100-400) where you have read course descriptions and can acknowledge you meet the stated prerequisites (or equivalent) of those courses. Some academic departments may ask to see an unofficial transcript for approval. Graduate level courses (500’s) require additional consultation and approvals before starting the Request for Approval process. Please consult directly with the graduate advisor/program before requesting to add this type of course. PLAN AHEAD: Read through OU General Instructions to plan steps ahead of time. NEW-Registration is through Titan Online: Enrollment through Open University has moved to self-service registration through the CSUF Portal under Manage Classes, but assigning an enrollment appointment for the planned term of enrollment is always first.
