Your file is reviewed to make sure all requirements have been met.
After final grades are posted in mid-January, and we verify that you
have successfully completed all requirements and course work,
CSUSM recommends you for a credential via the web.

most grocery stores) is the only option for payment of the
on-line recommendation.
