Before enrolling in CmpE 124 and CmpE126, you must see your Major Advisor to review credit for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering coursework taken elsewhere. Students who fail to do so will either be dropped by the instructor or receive a failure grade.
Online course equivalents from other colleges can be reached on the Internet via WWW with SJSU Articulation. This web site offers information on which courses can be transferred form 131 colleges and universities holding articulation agreements with San Jose State University.
The following steps are required for a transfer credit evaluation:
- Obtain a set of unofficial transcripts showing all the Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering courses taken elsewhere that you consider equivalent to the corresponding SJSU courses. Note that the Admissions Office does not make transcripts available to the CmpE Department.
- If applicable, obtain copies of catalog descriptions of pertinent courses that were taken at schools other than California community colleges. Clark Library normally has copies of catalogs for most U.S. Colleges.
- If applicable, fill out, attach catalog descriptions, and submit to the appropriate SJSU departments the proper equivalency evaluation forms [pdf] for those courses taken at schools other than California community colleges. The U.S. college forms can be obtained from the CmpE Department, while the foreign college forms are processed through the Admissions and Records Office. Following review, these forms should be returned to the CmpE Department.
- Complete the worksheet included in the transfer evaluation packet in ink. A list of course equivalencies between California community colleges and SJSU is included. Courses not found in the list require completion of equivalency evaluation forms [pdf] by the pertinent department to complete the evaluation.
- If all your transfer coursework was done at California community colleges, attach the set of transcripts to the completed worksheet and submit to your Major Advisor. Within a week or so, unless there are problems, your official transfer evaluation should be complete and placed in your file with the CmpE department.
- If part (or all) of your pertinent transfer coursework was taken at schools other than California community colleges, attach the set of transcripts and copies of the signed equivalency evaluation forms to the completed worksheet and submit in person to your Major Advisor. Once processed, your official transfer evaluation will be signed by your Major Advisor and placed in your file with the CmpE Department.
