High School Students

Easing the Transition into College

EAP is designed to help incoming college freshmen find the right classes for them. Discover the variety of resources The EAP and SJSU offer high school students below.

Early Assessment

Junior and senior high school students have the opportunity to take exams to see if they're ready for college-level classes with or without additional support. Learn more about these exams and what you can expect on our Early Assessment page.

Placement Criteria

We use multiple measures to help determine whether incoming students will enroll in math and writing courses with or without support. Take a look at what criteria we use, and how that criteria changes depending on your chosen field of study.

Mathematics at SJSU

If you aren't sure which math course is best for your academic goals, take a moment to use our Mathematic/Qualitative Reasoning Course Options Explorer. 

Writing at SJSU

All incoming first-year students will complete the Reflection on College Writing exercise before orientation. Learn more about this exercise, and how it will help you choose the right written communication course for you.
