CSU Preparation
• “a-g” Subject requirements (must be completed by
the end of Spring 2013)
• Test Scores (SAT/ACT)
• Academic GPA (10th-12th)
• Eligibility Index (2900-4300 SAT or 694-1021 ACT)
Remember! All admission is provisional,
until verification of final transcript.
5
Fall 2013: Selection
Impaction: SJSU receives a greater number of applications from
eligible students than we have the space to admit. Therefore,
meeting the minimum requirements may not be enough to gain
admission to SJSU.
6
Early Start Program
• Some students must begin their remediation the summer before their fall
enrollment at a CSU.
• SJSU Admissions will begin communicating with students as early as
October on their expected Early Start participation.
• Applicants must monitor their MySJSU accounts for messages and
posted deadlines associated with Early Start.
• Communication with admitted applicants will be part of the Intent to
Enroll (Next Steps) process.
• ELM/EPT must be taken as early as possible and no later than April 27,
2013.
• Students may complete Early Start at SJSU, other CSUs, or CCCs.

Fall 2013 Appeals
9
•
SJSU reviews each applicant's record thoroughly in the admission process
and admission decisions are rarely reversed. The admissions process is
completely objective, based on each applicant's self-reported academic
qualifications on the CSU Application for Admission and official transcripts
and test scores received by published deadlines.
•
Appeals to admission decisions must be submitted within 15 days of the
denial notification. All appeals will be reviewed and responded to within
three weeks.
•
SJSU does not set aside space in our class for students who appeal
admission decisions. Every denied application has been reviewed for
maximum consideration. Therefore, for an appeal to have merit, it must bring
to light new academic information (send official documentation of new
information to eval@sjsu.edu). Grades received in the current academic year
are not a basis for an appeal or the reversal of a decision.
•
SJSU does not consider appeals to missed deadlines, no matter how
compelling the circumstances.
