Former Student Advising

Our Senior Academic Advisors support former and academically disqualified students who are exploring a return to SJSU.  We offer limited 30-minute appointments and 10-15-minute drop-ins, as well as email support.

Reinstatement

Reinstatement is the process that allows students who were previously academically disqualified from SJSU to return as regular students. Once reinstated, students can continue taking courses and working toward completing their degree.

Readmission

Readmission is the process of applying to return to SJSU as a regular student. You must apply by the deadline for the semester you plan to return and meet the required admission requirements.

Review the CSU eligibility requirements for admission before applying.

*You may need to begin the readmission process before completing reinstatement in order to meet the application deadline.

Academic Planning

Our Senior Academic Advisors can help you create an academic plan to work toward your desired major and return to SJSU. We can help you:

• Plan Open University coursework and/or community college coursework that supports your academic goals.
• Explore pathways toward your desired major.
• Identify next steps for returning to SJSU.
• Connect with helpful campus resources.
