Hey this is my first time at CSULB this semester, coming from a CC. How does the first day of classes usually look like?

Do we need books on the first day? Does it vary class to class? if so, how do we find out what books we need before hand?

What materials do you guys usually bring on the first day? At cc with my 3-4 classes max I would usually just be fine getting away with a note book and my laptop, some pens and a highlighter. I’m a little worried that because it’s not CC it’s gonna be a bit more hefty and strict when it comes to materials and or book material requirements. Aka someone finding a pirated or google PDF of the book online won’t be acceptable etc typa beat.. Unless I’m wrong and again this just depends on the teacher.

I haven’t tried looking at a canvas account or anything yet, does our email for the my apps page work for canvas or is it a separate login I have to create? -Is there even a canvas for classes that aren’t online? I only have one online class. -Are classes added automatically to your canvas upon enrollment or depends on when teacher puts it up?

It’s Sunday, so I plan to talk to a counselor tomorrow to answer some questions as well. Thank you!
