Congratulations!! Is it Cal State University, Bakersfield?
If you received an admissions packet with information, read it!
1. Read your admissions letter. If they ask you to confirm that you will attend, follow the instructions of how to do so.
2. You have to be able to get to your school everyday. If you live so far away that you can't get to class everyday on your own, then you need to move there. Read your admissions packet for any information on student housing, either on or off campus. You can also look for your own apartment. Visit the student housing office. They probably have housing listings there. Sometimes there are other students looking for housing. Maybe you can hook up with someone you like as roommates and to share rent with.
When you get your housing situation, buy food, basic furniture, and whatever else you need to live. A bike with a good bike lock are a good investment for transportation.
Once you have that, walk around the campus and get familiar with it and enjoy it! It'll be your home for the next few years!
3. Read your college catalog for New Student Orientation, class registration, and class start dates! Read the camps map in the catalog to find the buildings to go to!
4. If they have a Freshman orientation, you should attend it! They'll give you lots of information and may tell you how to get an academic advisor to advise you on which classes to register for. If you don't have an advisor for some reason, read the catalog for what classes to take in the first year. Also, get a course schedule. This tells you what days and times a class is offered so that you can plan your semester schedule.
5. Register for your classes, pay all your fees, buy your books and attend class! (You usually don't have to choose a major until your Junior year, so don't worry about that now.)
6. Hopefully, you already have all your finances lined up.
This is a new situation for you and you'll probably be confused for a little while--but it's also an exciting time, and you'll figure it all out! While you're at it, start making friends and have fun figuring things out together!
Congratulations again and good luck!

Get housing. Call the housing office or go on line and get a dorm if you want, or if you can, or look in to apartments, co-ops, or even fraternities or sororities. Then pack some clothes, a stereo, a bike or skateboard to get around on, your computer, and go. Attend orientation. Find out where, when, and how to pay your fees. An advantage of a co-op or fraternity or sorority is that the upper class men and women can tell you what the flunkout courses are--most colleges or universities have a few landmines waiting for you, courses in required fields of study that have no purpose but to flunk people out, and you must find out what these are and not register for them. It could be something as innocent sounding as Survey of English Literature, or General Chemistry. Register for classes you have a realistic chance of getting good grades in. Then survey the campus, the student union, and the book store, get familiar with where you will be going, become comfortable. You will make great, great friends in college, you will have some of the best times of your life, you will do some of your most stimulating, interesting work there--good luck, and enjoy!!!

Not sure what/where that is, but if it's a college, your next step is figuring out what classes you need to take and making your schedule.

You should read any of your school catalogs/brochures so you'd know what to do(i suggest you do), ask your school advisor or counselor lots of questions, choose your major, register for classes.
READ your school catalogs....................................
Don't ask here since none of us here have any idea what your school requires or is about.
