Review the Steps to Admission

Our International Freshman Steps to Admission provides an overview of the necessary steps to successfully complete the application process for SJSU. 

Submit official SAT and/or ACT scores

International Freshman applicants are highly encouraged to submit official SAT (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math) or ACT composite scores.

Admission Statuses

You can view your current admission status on your MySJSU Student Center by scrolling to the bottom of the screen under Admissions and clicking on "View Status". You can reference our Admission Statuses page for detailed descriptions.

Obtaining I-20

If you are admitted to SJSU, your I-20 will be emailed to you. If you are currently attending an institution within the U.S. you will need to have your SEVIS record transferred [pdf].

Admission Appeals

In the case that you do not meet the admission requirements or do not meet the impaction criteria for the term you have applied, you will be sent a message/letter with details on the appeals process. This message is time-sensitive so it is important that you check your MySJSU regularly.
