The following are commonly asked questions by students required to participate in Early Start.
How do I contact the professor for a course offered at CSUCI?
Professors may be contacted through the CI Learn course portal 1 to 2 weeks before the first day. The course portal will be activated for students in their myCI account 1-2 weeks prior to the start of the class. The professor will post all pertinent information about the course, including whether a textbook is required, on CI Learn.
I received an email requiring me to take Early Start Math and Early Start English, am I required to take both?
Students can take both Early Start Math and Early Start English if they were required to do both. However, if schedule and costs only permit the ability to take one course, students should take and complete Early Start Math.
