FAQs

Read before attending orientation.

•  What is it like to register for classes online?

  • A simple metaphor might help:

    Imagine you are buying concert tickets. The ticketing office sets a specific time and day people can buy tickets online. For high-demand performances, ticket buyers count down to the second they can click the "purchase" button in order to get the best seat, preferred show date, and number of tickets. 

    Enrolling in courses during orientation is similar, except students have many options for alternative general education and major courses appilcable to your degree requirements. 

    The important thing is to be prepared before your enrollment appointment.

• What if I don't know which courses to choose?

  • Students will be able to use SJSU's enrollment tools such as MyScheduler, MyPlanner, and enrollment cart June 9, 2020. Other helpful tools are on the Course Planning Resources 2020-2021 page.

     

• When can I start registering?

  • Fully-admitted transfer students may register June 15. 

    Conditionally-admitted transfer students must complete items in their "To-Do" list on MySJSU.

     

     

• When can I start registering online without an add code?  

  •  The Registrar's page linked below answers this question: 

    Advanced registration vs. Late registration

     

• How do I register?
  • Students can use MyScheduler or manually search for courses through MySJSU. Learn more on our Registering for Courses Page.
• How can I check if my transcripts have been received?
  • Students usually receive an email from the Registrar's office when transcripts are received. However, this does not mean they are processed. 
• How can I check if my transcripts have been processed and posted to my records?
  •  Please check your Transfer Credit Report in MySJSU.
• Why does MyProgress show I am missing requirements? My transcript report shows my classes transferred to SJSU.
  • Students might need a Transfer Equivalency Petition. If your course does not have articulation on Assist, it might have been processed as a general lower division transferred course instead of, say, MATH 30. Ask an advisor about this petition or read about it on our Transfer Equivalency Petition page.
