Student services
We are committed to the success of our students, through our student support service we are able to support all of our students, providing a broad range of advice and guidance on personal, practical and academic issues.
Housing services
At ONCAMPUS Cal State Monterey Bay you are part of the university from day one. You’ll live alongside American students in dormitories and have access to all the same facilities they do.
Like most college freshmen, you will live right on campus in a residence hall (also called a dormitory, or “dorm” for short) with other students. This is a mandatory part of our program because residence halls are a great place to make friends, socialize, and adjust to college life in America. This means you will quickly become part of a close community, providing an excellent opportunity to get to know your fellow students.
ICT services
You will have various online support systems to use on a daily basis to help you keep track of events, academics, and schedules. They will help you learn to use these resources and expect you to check your email daily.
