Transferring to San Jose State University as an engineering student
Transfer Requirements • You must have completed 60 units in total • 30 units of which need to be GE • Four basic skills completed by the spring semester before fall transfer (Oral Comm., Writing comp., crit. Thinking, math) • You must have a GPA 2.0 or higher
When can I/should I transfer? • Once you have completed all your required English courses (IGETC 1 a,b,c) • When you have completed all or most of your math (Math 1,2,3, Diff Eq, Linear Algebra) • It is recommended that you complete as many of the math/science/engineering curriculum as you can at the community college
When can I/should I transfer? (cont.) • When you feel you are ready • Maximum of 70 units will count towards SJSU degree requirements • BUT courses taken to meet degree requirements (such as GE courses) will still be considered completed
Stay ahead of due dates and be persistent • A missed due date WILL result in your application being dropped • Application for admission Fall 2014 is due Nov. 30 • SJSU admissions can be slow to respond
Once accepted • Send your transcript • Chabot sends paper transcripts which take longer to process at SJSU • Note: do not send multiple transcripts from Chabot, it delays processing • Sign up for a transfer orientation • Sign up for the Writing Skills Test (WST), pre-requisite for 100w
Registration and Orientation tips • Admissions is backlogged on transcript processing • This prevented transfer students from priority registration this year • Bring your degree plan to advising orientation • Talk with your major advisor about specific upper division GE requirements
Registration and Orientation tips (cont.) • Take the WST sooner than later • Do not miss your registration appointment, classes fill quickly • Triple check due dates
