Holds

Types and details

Holds on your MySJSU account prevent you from registering for the next term, unless you have a hold removed by the department that placed it.

Always click the blue "Details" link in the "holds" section of your account and read the instructions to remove your hold.

"ESSC, please remove my hold."

Below are common holds placed by the College of Engineering and the ESSC. Removing the hold depends on the requirements set forth by the department. This means, not all holds can be removed by the ESSC.

• Academic Probation

  • You received this hold to make you aware of your academic standing at SJSU.  You will need to fulfill requirements to remove your hold and get off probation.

    Please visit the Probation page for more information.

• ESSC

  • You will receive an e-mail with instructions for making an appointment. 

    You are taking an ENGR 10 course so you are required to see a Guided Pathways Advisor. Please contact Ahmed Banafa (ahmed.banafa@sjsu.edu), Jack Warecki (jack.warecki@sjsu.edu), or Dr. Smita Duorah (smita.duorah@sjsu.edu) if you have additional questions.

    Additional information can be found on our Guided Pathways page.

• Major Advising 

  • All students in the College of Engineering must meet with their major advisor. Below are the department advising pages with instructions for seeing your advisor. 

    If you plan on changing your major to one outside of the College of Engineering, please read this protocol to remove your Major Advising hold.

• Major Advising (for students changing their major)

  • If you are transitioning out of Engineering, you need to get advising from the success center housed in the major you want. THEN, email success-engineering@sjsu.edu to let us know that you received help and are ready for your hold to be removed. We will check Spartan Connect to verify your meeting with an advisor and remove your Major Advising hold. 

    If you are transitioning within Engineering, email success-engineering@sjsu.edu, and let us know which classes you plan on taking the next semester. You are not required go to a workshop or see an advisor.
