Fall 2016 Course Availability and Late Enrollment

Late registration for Fall 2016 will begin Wednesday at 7 am.  At that time, if you have been issued a permission code, you should be able to use it.  Once you are given a code, you will want to use it as soon as you can so course enrollment is as accurate as possible for the instructors.

If you are still looking for fall HS major course options, the following courses are under-enrolled:
HS 25, section 5
HS 117, section 2
HS 100W, sections 3 and 8

If you are shopping around for any courses this fall, (including the courses above), attend the class on the first day and let the instructor know that you are wanting to add the course.  If you are eligible (in standing and pre-requisites) the instructor may be able to give you a permission code that will allow your enrollment.  If there are more students who want to add the course then there is room in the course, the instructor may rank students according to standing and/or select students via lottery.  Students who have a senior verification card will be prioritized over all others who want to add.

Once again - If you are given a permission code, please use it as soon as possible so our course enrollment is accurate.  Late registration will begin on Wednesday, 8/24 at 7 am.

Fall Welcome Assembly, Monday August 22

We are looking forward to seeing you all next week as we launch the Fall 2016 semester at San Jose State! 

Our department is holding a Fall Welcome Assembly on Monday August 22 from 1 - 2pm in WSH 109 and we hope you can join us. 

We will be giving fall semester updates, introducing our faculty, and reconnecting after the summer.

Student organizations will be tabling and holding breakout sessions after the assembly and there will be opportunities for advising from 2 - 4. 

We especially encourage transfer students and ongoing students who need support with their fall schedules to come for last minute advising. Additionally, students graduating Spring or Summer 2017 who haven't applied for graduation are encouraged to attend to complete graduation paperwork.
