In addition to the New Employee Orientation, our onboarding program includes two essential online modules that are automatically assigned to all new hires through CSU Learn:
Module 1: `Runner Starting Line: Get Set for Your CSUB Career
Due within the first 7 days of employment, this introductory module is designed to
help new employees begin their CSUB journey on the right foot. It covers our history,
organizational structure, and the CSU system. Key topics include accessibility, diversity,
equity, and inclusion, as well as an overview of benefits, payroll, and essential
policies to ensure success.
Module 2: `Runner Starting Line: Get Set for Your CSUB Career
Due within the first 60 days of employment, this module is aimed at helping new hires
further integrate into their role at CSUB. It offers an in-depth exploration of the
CSUB community, the intricacies of working in higher education, and the career development
resources available. The module also provides additional tools and resources to enrich
the employee experience at CSUB.
ITS Onboarding Resources
Visit the page below to submit ITS and Facilities requests as you prepare for your new hire's first day. Please note that some items require additional time to complete. To avoid delays, please submit your requests as soon as possible.
Primary Access and Account Information
Your CSUB NetID is the first part of your email before the "@" sign. For example:
If your email is: rrunner5@csub.edu...
Then, your CSUB NetID is: rrunner5
New employees who do not have an existing account with CSUB will receive an email with information on how to claim their new account. Employees with a prior relationship with CSUB and an existing account can work with their department to get the information needed to reset their existing account password.
Employees can also use NetID Account Lookup instructions to reclaim their account and set up their password in MyID.
Call Help Desk to reset voicemail, update the online directory and/or other technology assistance at ext. 4357 or visit ITS Help Desk.
For additional services, visit the listing of all ITS services.
All CSUB community members are issued a RunnerCard, or campus identification card. RunnerCard is essential for many services across campus. Each RunnerCard is tied to an eAccount, which can be used like a debit card to purchase food at all on-campus dining locations. It can also be used as a key/proxy card for access to buildings and offices. Keys and card access for Faculty, Staff, and Students can be requested by submitting a Key Request Form to University Police.
The Runner ID card office is located at ITS Service Center in Lower Level of the Walter Stiern Library in Lab A.
These forms must be signed by a Dean or a Department Head prior to the issuance of keys or granting of access.
University keys and access to buildings using a RunnerCard are issued and maintained by the University Police Department. Keys and card access for Faculty, Staff, and Students can be requested on a Key Request Form.
These forms must be signed by a Dean or a Department Head prior to issuance of keys or granting of access.
Other Account Access and Forms (Needed for Some Positions)
To request access to review/approve time or absences for employees, please contact Nick Stringer at nstringer@csub.edu.
This will only be required if the new hire has the need to access department budget information or ProCard user. Visit Common Financial System (CFS) page for more information.
ProCard Users
ProCard users will also be required to submit PeopleSoft Finance Request Form to report ProCard usage.
This portal affords faculty and staff the opportunity to purchase goods to support their academic and operational needs. All purchases made must be consistent with CSU policy, the Procurement Card manual and hospitality guidelines.
New Hire Training
All CSUB employees are required to complete training as required by law, CSU, or campus policies. Most of these trainings are web-based and can be completed at an employee's workstation. Employees will be automatically enrolled in online training during their first month of employment. Managers are responsible for the completion of all compliance training and should be prepared to schedule 6+ hours and a location for the employee to complete their online training. Please ask the employee to go to CSU Learn and login to complete training.
If you require additional information, please visit the Compliance Training page.
For additional training resources for new hires or any employees, visit the `Runner Staff Development page. To find all department-specific training resources, visit the Traning and Professional Development page.
