Transfer Admission Agreement

The Transfer Admission Agreement is designed to assist community college students in transferring to San José State University.  TAAs are "road maps" that chart your academic progress from the community colleges to SJSU.  This agreement is a contract that will guarantee a smooth transition into SJSU when all of the requirements are met for admission into the university.

Eligibility Requirements:

1.    TAAs should only be written for students whose first-choice campus is SJSU.  TAAs will be written for all qualified applicants; however the target population is students who are underrepresented at the CSU (African Americans, Chicanos/Latinos, and Native Americans).

2.    TAAs will only be accepted for admission for Fall 2009 semester. 

3.    TAAs will only be accepted with the online CSU Mentor application and an attached copy of CSU confirmation page with the TAA contract.

4.    TAAs will not be accepted if students have filed an application for the Spring term.

5.    TAAs will only be accepted if accompanied by all supporting documents required. (i.e., unofficial AP test scores/TOEFL, transcripts of all colleges attended, CSU Mentor confirmation page with 41 character number, four carbon copies of TAA contract.)

6.    TAAs will not be accepted for non-residents of California, including F-1 or J-1 international student visa holder or AB 540 students.

7.    TAAs will not be accepted for students with any post-secondary coursework completed outside the US.

8.    TAAs will not be accepted for students who have previously matriculated at SJSU, including those disqualified from SJSU. Open University course work is acceptable.

9.    TAAs will not be accepted for students who have been disqualified from another institution unless students document that the disqualification has been cleared (see Section V, page 4 for explanation).

10. TAAs will not be accepted from students who already have baccalaureate or graduate degrees.

11. By the time the Contract is written, students must have completed a minimum of 30 semester/45 quarter CSU transferable units with an overall minimum 2.00 GPA. (i.e., 30 semester units or 45 quarter transferable units must be completed by the end of Summer 2008.)

12. By the end of the Spring 2009 semester/quarter, students must complete the following:

·         A total of 60 semester/90 quarter CSU transferable units with an overall minimum 2.00 GPA.

·         30 semester/45 quarter units of CSU General Education coursework with “C” grades or better.
