Library

  • The library on the mobile app is a mobile version of the main CSU Global library website where students can access the same resources.

Financial Aid

  • Can I accept my financial aid through the app?
    • At this time the financial aid feature is a view only of your current financial aid awards. For more detailed information, or to accept financial aid, students will need to log into their Student Portal.
  • Why do my awards say "Expired"?
    • If a student has available financial aid that has not yet been accepted and we are beyond the start date of that respective trimester, the awards will say "expired". This does not necessarily mean they are unavailable, and students should still have the opportunity to review and accept those awards through the Student Portal.

Canvas

  • Can I do my coursework through this app?
    • Yes! Canvas already has a mobile app that can be accessed through the  CSU Global app. Students can view grades, get notifications, see assignments and participate in discussion boards through the app.
