Additionally, the Graduate School suggests "you file your Advancement to Candidacy petition as soon as you have completed nine letter-graded units in graduate division at SJSU and have satisfied the graduate requirement of Competency in Written English (English competency must be completed before the Candidacy petition will be considered by the Graduate Studies Office)."
