Extended Ed courses are various courses that are open to everyone on a fee per course basis; fees may vary. Registration dates are posted per term. These courses are available for Fall and Spring semesters and Winter and Summer terms.

Open University refers to an enrollment process that allows members of the community to take regular CSUMB courses on a space-available basis with the instructor's approval. Open University enrollment does not require a university application. Students can only enroll on the first day of class, on a space-available basis with the instructor's approval.
