You must earn a "C-" or higher grade in each basic skills course. You will not be allowed to register until we have received an official transcript showing that you have passed the four basic skills courses.
SUPPLEMENTAL CRITERIA - TRANSFER APPLICANTS For most majors (degree programs), transfer applicants are ranked by self-reported GPA per degree program and admitted in sufficient numbers to meet the capacity for that program. Select programs will admit students based on a combination of their self-reported GPA and the completion of program-specific, lower division coursework. The programs that have identified major preparation coursework as supplemental criteria in the admission process are noted in the degrees section. For these select programs, if two applicants to the same program have the same GPA, preference will be given to the applicant who has completed the greater number of program-specific preparation courses. Similarly, if two applicants have completed the same number of program-specific preparation courses, preference will be given to the applicant with the higher GPA. The major specific course that will be considered in the admission process for these programs are listed at sjsu.edu/admissions/impaction EXPLORE SJSU MAJORS

It continues to provide support and resources to incoming freshman, transfer and continuing students by helping them on their path to success at San Jose State University. We work in collaboration with many of the student support programs on campus, and community services off campus.
We have been successful in supporting Guardian Scholars’ students through ongoing coaching and mentoring, building a social community, and helping students chart a course toward graduation. We help the students to connect and build relationships with other students with similar backgrounds and life experiences. EOP is designed for undergraduate students that are considered California residents or AB540 students with a history of low-income (as determined by the FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application) and from an educationally disadvantaged background.

THE SMITH RENAISSANCE SOCIETYThe mission of the Smith Renaissance Society is to create a cross-generational community that provides academic, personal, social and financial support to UCSC students who lack the traditional family support afforded to most of their peers. Typically, these students have multiple adverse childhood experiences including, but not limited to, neglect, abuse, abandonment, or homelessness. Students may identify as being current or former foster youth, wards of the court, runaways, orphans, children of incarcerated parents, or children of parents with severe mental illness.
Smith Collegiate Fellows are UCSC students who belong to a community of caring friends and mentors committed to their personal and academic success. On graduation, Collegiate Fellows continue to belong to a friendly network to provide contacts and encouragement as they head to graduate school or careers. Senior Fellows are members of the Smith community, including mentors, donors, and Smith alumni who do the work of the Society. Led by the Board of Directors made up of Smith graduates as well as current and retired faculty and staff, the Society offers financial aid, mentoring, help navigating the University’s academic and administrative systems, priority enrollment in classes, academic and emotional support, priority year-round housing, social activities, and the chance to reach out to youth in the foster care system and local homeless shelters. Based in Services for Transfer and Re-entry Students (STARS) in Kresge College, the Smith Renaissance Society created California’s first university-based comprehensive path to college admission for foster youths and other independent students. Most Collegiate Fellows graduate, and many go on to excel in professional careers and graduate programs. Current/Potential Students
