Purpose

Community is provided to meet the collaborative working and social needs of the CSUSM campus community and campus-sponsored external communities. This site utilizes Moodle in order to provide options for public or private information dissemination and collaboration. Unlike the academic instruction-based site “Cougar Courses,” Community is not organized by academic years or terms as it assumes on-going activity throughout the year and/or over multiple years.

Logging In to Community

All CSUSM faculty, staff, and students should login with their CSUSM credentials.

If you are a community member or CSUSM student that does not yet have a CSUSM account (including a CSUSM email), you can create an external account. 

  1. Fill out the New Account form with your details. We recommend you use your email address as your username. 
  2. An email will be immediately sent to the email address you provided.
  3. Check your email and click on the confirmation link.
  4. Your account will be confirmed and you will be logged in.
  5. Now you can be enrolled in containers either by the owner or through self-enrollment. Click on Containers in Community below to learn more about getting access to containers.
