Transfer Steps to Admission

Meet All Deadlines

If you miss an SJSU deadline, we will withdraw your application for admission, and you will not be able to attend SJSU for the term to which you applied. Check your MySJSU account regularly to stay informed of deadlines. If you have an extreme hardship or unusual circumstance that may cause you to miss one of our deadlines, contact admissions@sjsu.edu prior to the deadline date.

11 Steps to Admission

Your path to admission to San José State and becoming a Spartan involves 11 steps. These steps are designed to help you navigate through the process toward admission. If you have special circumstances such as developmental math and English requirements, being a veteran, or returning as a former student, there may be additional steps. Read through each step carefully and be sure to meet all deadlines—if you miss a deadline your application will be withdrawn. We look forward to receiving your application.

Congratulations on completing the Steps to Admission!

If you are admitted, you will also need to complete the Steps to Enrollment, which include partial and final college transcripts, attending orientation, and registering for classes.
