Because SJSU is an impacted campus, eligibility for admission is based on:
Apply for a major in which you intend to earn a degree. After admission, your mandatory orientation, advising and registration will be based on your choice of major. Change of major is prohibited for the first year of attendance and is by petition only. Change of major is not guaranteed at any time.
SJSU is committed to giving Santa Clara county residents priority in the admission process.
Local applicants are students who will graduate from a Santa Clara county high school.
Local applicants are guaranteed admission provided they apply by 11:59 PST on November 30, 2009, comply with all posted deadlines and meet CSU eligibility requirements.
CSU-eligible local applicants who are not accommodated in impacted majors will be offered admission to the Undeclared option.
Non-local applicants are students who will graduate from a high school located outside of Santa Clara county.
Admission is offered to non-local applicants based on the overall space available.
Non-residents of California and international applicants must meet higher minimum standard, regardless of major.
Impacted majors require supplemental criteria of a higher eligibility index. See the degree listing for details. All frosh applicants compete for admission to these majors and are assessed and ranked according to GPA and test score eligibility index.
Applicants to SJSU’s impacted majors should have a backup plan at an alternative campus that offers the desired major.
