Supported Instruction
Supported Instruction helps guide students in their first-year Math/Quantitative Reasoning and Writing courses. Providing the resources and skills needed to be successful, as the knowledge and skills students develop in these courses are foundational to success in all college studies.

First Year Math and Writing Course Placement
To facilitate appropriate first-year course placement, the CSU evaluates your academic preparation in two areas: written communication and math/quantitative reasoning.
The evaluation takes into account multiple factors, including coursework, grades, and scores on standardized tests.
SJSU will not require SAT/ACT scores for Fall 2021 admission, and they will not be considered in our admission consideration process. We highly recommend that you submit your SAT and/or ACT scores, as this is one of several measures to assess math and English placement for admitted students who enroll at SJSU.
