Adding a Class

• Navigate to One.SJSU.edu
• Enter your SJSU ID and Password to log into MySJSU
• Navigate to Academics > Add a Class
• Select the correct term. If you do not see the desired term, you are not eligible to enroll. New students should contact Admissions. Continuing students should contact the Registrar’s Office.

Choose the class you wish to add.

• Two ways to select a class:

1. If you know the class number for the class you wish to add, you can simply type the 5 digit Class Number and click the Enter button.
2. Click the green “Search Button.” Make sure the Course Career is set to Graduate or Undergraduate depending on the class you are searching for. If you find a class you wish to add, click the “Select Class” button to place it in your shopping cart.

• Once you have chosen a class, a new page called “Class Enrollment Options” will appear. Verify that the course is the one you selected.

• If required, enter permission number (see Department or Instructor Consent below)

• Select any related component classes if applicable (see below), and click okay.

• The Add Classes page will appear, and you will see your classes in your shopping cart.

Warning: you have not yet added your classes.  You must click on “Finish Enrolling” to add the class.

Component Classes

If the course has related components attached to it (e.g., lab, seminar), the system will prompt you to select the one you wish to add.

Department or Instructor Consent

• Please note that classes designated “Department Consent Required” require a Permission Number (add code).
• If you received a Class Permission Number, enter it in the available field.
• Please note that most classes will require a Class Permission Number if you are adding during the Late Registration period, beginning on the first day of instruction.

Switching Class Sections?

You must drop the section (lecture and labs/seminar, as well, if they have related components or corequisites) before adding the new class section(s).

Add Additional Classes

If you want to add another class to your add classes list, simply repeat the previous steps.

Warning: Finish Enrolling

Make sure you complete the process! Once you have added all your classes to your shopping cart, click the green button that says “Proceed to Step 2 of 3.” On the next page you will be given the chance to review your enrollment and make sure that it is accurate. Once you have verified your classes, click the green “Finish Enrolling” button to submit your registration.

Verify Add

Check to make sure you did not receive any errors for the classes you added. If you did, you can see a message explaining why you could not add the class, for example, prerequisites not met, or the class is full. Finally, check your class schedule to make sure all the classes you added appear.

“Instructor Consent” or “Department Consent”

Should you receive a registration error indicating that “Instructor Consent” is required, you must go to the instructor to obtain the Permission number. To add the course, use the Permission Number with the 5-digit Class Number for that specific course section, as listed in the course schedule.

“Department Consent” requires students to go to the department that offers the course to obtain the Permission Number. To add the course, use the Permission Number with the 5-digit Class Number for that specific course section, as listed in the course schedule.

Permission numbers become ‘used’ only after an enrollment request is successful. To assure a successful enrollment request if you are adding using a permission number, remember the following before clicking the submit button:

• Check that you have no holds.
• Check that you have met all prerequisites.
• If you know the 5-digit class number, enter the number. If not, use “search” function and enter Course Subject e.g. SOCI and course number e.g. 101. See the guide with screenshots on how to enroll
• Enter the permission number in the permission number box (see page 5 on the guide)
• Enter any and all Component Courses (e.g., corequisite labs or seminars) and determine what required course is approved even before trying to “Enroll in the Class.”

Adding Classes on the First Day of Instruction

At the first class meeting, Group 3: Graduating Students (bachelors and graduate level students who have a graduation application on file with an anticipated graduation date for the current or next semester) shall have top priority for any available spaces. Students seeking to add the course should provide documentation showing that they are graduating seniors as defined above.

An impartial procedure (such as a lottery or any other method of random selection) shall be used to choose, from among the graduating seniors, those who will fill the available spaces.

University Policy F20-1

Adding Classes after the Last Day to Add

• Before the Census date, students can submit the Pre-census Late Enrollment petition form to the Registrar’s office. This petition is valid through census date per University Policy F09-2.
• After census date, students can petition for a late add using the Post-Census Late Enrollment form. This form replaces the Retroactive add petition form. Petition forms can be found on the Registrar’s website

Late Fee Assessed

Students registering for classes after the term begins are assessed a late registration fee. Students in the Step to College programs are not required to pay the late registration fee.

Waitlisting

SJSU has “waitlisting” for all classes. Waitlisting puts you in line to get a space in a closed class, should a space become available before the end of the Advance Registration period and 9 days from the first day of instruction. See University Policy F20-1 for more details on the waitlist policy.

Where do I sign up?

You may sign up for the waitlist via MySJSU. If a class is full, you may place yourself on a waitlist.

Waitlist When You Add Classes

• Navigate to ‘add classes.’
• At “Step 1, Select classes to add,” search for your preferred course.
• If the class is full and the waitlist option is available, you will see the yellow waitlist icon.
• To place yourself on the waitlist, you must click the checkbox next to “Waitlist if class is full.”
• You will be returned to Step 1. You must complete the remaining steps of the process to add classes.
• When you finish enrolling in the class, you will see a message indicating that you are on the waitlist and your current position number on the list.
• Monitor your waitlist position by navigating to “My Class Schedule” at MySJSU.

Feedback

Problems? Questions? Comments? Contact Registrar@sjsu.edu

Validity

You can add yourself to the waitlist for a class when the class is full until the end of Advance Registration period and 9 days from the first day of instruction.

• Waitlists become null and void 9 days from the first day of class instruction.
• There is no guarantee you will be enrolled in the class from the waitlist.
• The waitlist cannot enroll you for a different section of the same class and cannot override a time conflict.
• When classes begin, the automated waitlist process will add the students based on priority given to graduating seniors with a graduation application on file, and an approved candidacy form for graduating graduate students and 21 units earned. Check your schedule regularly at MySJSU to monitor your position on a waitlist.
• Check your schedule regularly at MySJSU to monitor your position on a waitlist.

If you decide you no longer wish to wait for space to become available, as a courtesy to other students, drop yourself from the waitlist.

Registration Procedures

• You may place yourself on the waitlist for classes that have a waitlist and  if the class is  already full.
• If you are already enrolled in another section of the same course, you will not be moved from the waitlist if space becomes available unless you drop the section in which you are enrolled.
• If there is a time conflict with a class for which you are already enrolled, you will not be enrolled from the waitlist.
• You must meet any requisites for the class before you can be placed on the waitlist, e.g., course prerequisites, section corequisites, major and class level restrictions. See related catalog/course descriptions at MySJSU.
• When you place yourself on a waitlist, you hold a position that changes as students ahead of you get enrolled in the class or drop off the waitlist.
• You may not go over your enrollment limit. For example, if moving into a course from a waitlist exceeds your enrollment limit, you will not be enrolled in the class.
• Waitlists have priority over all general add requests. If students drop from a full class, students from the waitlist will be placed in the class before any student who logs in and requests the class, but is not on the class waitlist.
• If you are moved from the waitlist into the class, you will receive a confirmation message in your MySJSU account.
• As with any class, when you move from the waitlist into a class, it is your responsibility to drop the class if you decide not to attend. Failure to properly drop the class will result in a “WU” grade on your record which will lower your grade point average.
• It is your responsibility to monitor your movement up the waitlist, your enrollment limit, potential time conflicts and any additional fees due.

For Variable Waitlist Unit Limit process visit the Registrar’s website for more information

How do I move from the waitlist into the class?

Students are moved from the waitlist into the class if space becomes available, in the order they have been placed on the waitlist and subject to the restrictions described.

Students will be moved from the waitlist and enrolled in the class if other students drop or are dropped due to non-payment of fees.

Registration Issues

• There is a time conflict with another registered class: compare the exact time of the classes for which you have registered–even a 15 minute overlap will prevent you from moving from the waitlist into the class. Since potential time conflicts are not checked when you place yourself on a waitlist, it is your responsibility to make sure that waitlisted classes do not conflict with your enrolled schedule.
• You are already enrolled in another section of the same course: you will not be moved from the waitlist if space becomes available unless you drop the section in which you are enrolled.
• If you are repeating the course: you will not be moved into the class. Instructors will have the discretion to allow you to register for the class with a permission number during Late Registration–the first day of instruction through the last day to add.
• For a course with components: you can waitlist in any section, but you must select all desired sections (lecture, lab and seminar). Space must open in all sections for you to be added to the class.
• You will not be enrolled from the waitlist if a hold is placed on your record after you sign on to the waitlist. If–for any of the reasons given above–you cannot be moved from the waitlist, you will be skipped over and the next student considered. You will not be reconsidered until the next time space becomes available in the class.

Registration Billing

• You may be added into waitlisted classes at any time which might incur additional charges. It is important to check your class schedule and amount due daily to avoid possible cancellation of all your classes for failure to pay your fees in full by your payment due date.

Class Notes

Dropping a Class

Dropping Classes After Drop Deadline

Dropping Classes After the Fourteenth Day of Instruction

Students may petition to late or retroactively drop a course or withdraw from an entire semester of courses for serious and compelling reasons after the drop deadline. Check the official academic calendar to verify the date.

Conditions and circumstances are defined as “serious and compelling” only if beyond the student’s control. Those acceptable as justifications for a late drop must have occurred after the drop deadline. A personal statement with supporting documentation must be submitted with the late and retroactive drop and withdrawal forms.

Undergraduates may download the appropriate petition (course drop or withdrawal from all courses). Graduate students may download the appropriate petition.

Submission of these forms, even with an instructor’s signature, does not constitute approval. Continue attending class and complete all assignments until the petition is approved or denied.

Instructor Drops

Instructors are permitted to drop a student who fails to establish a committed presence in the class. “Establishing a committed presence” is defined in University Policy F15-3 as the following options for the student:

1. In-person classes. Attending the first class meeting or informing the instructor of the intention to continue in the class before 48 hours after the first official class meeting.
2. Online classes. Logging on to the LMS class shell on the first scheduled day of the class or informing the instructor of the intention to continue in the class before 48 hours after the official class start date.

Some instructors may drop students who do not meet the stated course prerequisites. However, they are not required to do so. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure classes are dropped.

Detailed information for instructors is available for download.

Late Drop Petitions

Students may petition to Late Drop for serious and compelling reasons after the drop deadline. To verify the official dates, see Calendar  for links to the official academic calendar. Petitions are available at UASC for undergraduates and GAPE for graduate students.

Conditions and circumstances are defined as ‘serious and compelling’ and are considered beyond the student’s control, and which occurred after the drop deadline.

A personal statement submitted without supporting documentation is not acceptable. Acceptable documentation includes:

Personal health or serious family illness

Serious health reasons out of your control (e.g. personal health, serious family illness or assigned caretaker). Attach the Healthcare Provider Form.

Administrative Error

University documentation from appropriate departments. Students must understand that their personal letter alone will not suffice as verifiable documentation.

Late drops are to be submitted to Undergraduate Advising and Success Center (UASC) in Administration 150/159 or using the DocuSign petition.

Neither an instructor’s signature nor submission of a Late Drop petition constitutes approval of the drop. Continue attending class and complete all assignments until you are notified via MySJSU message that the petition has been approved or denied.

Academic Renewal

Graduating seniors with a grade point average (GPA) below 2.0 in the major, minor, SJSU, or overall college coursework, may request that all grades earned in a previous semester (or two semesters) be disregarded, to permit graduation. If the petition is approved, all grades and units earned during the semester will be disregarded when calculating GPAs for graduation, but the courses and grades will still appear on the transcript.

All of the following conditions must be met:

• You must have applied for graduation and be ready to graduate.
• You must have a GPA below 2.0 in a category required for graduation (major, minor, overall, SJSU)
• At least 5 years must have elapsed since the semester you want to disregard.
• You must have at least a 3.0 GPA in your most recent 15 units at SJSU, or 2.5 in the past 30 units, or 2.0 in the past 45 units.
• No courses or units earned during the semester you want to disregard may be counted toward graduation.
• You must document extenuating circumstances associated with the semester you want disregarded and show that your performance is not representative of your ability.

Students need to apply for Academic Renewal.

Cancellation of Registration or Withdrawal From the Institution

Students who find it necessary to cancel their registration or to withdraw from all classes after enrolling for any academic term are required to follow the university’s official withdrawal procedures. Failure to follow formal university procedures may result in an obligation to pay fees as well as the assignment of failing grades in all courses and the need to apply for readmission before being permitted to enroll in another academic term. Information on canceling registration and withdrawal procedures is available from Undergraduate Advising and Success Center (UASC) in Administration 150 or www.sjsu.edu/uasc/.

Students who receive financial aid funds must consult with the Financial Aid office prior to withdrawing from the university regarding any required return or repayment of grant or loan assistance received for that academic term or payment period. Students who have received financial aid and withdraw from the institution during the academic term or payment period may need to return or repay some or all of the funds received, which may result in a debt owed to the institution.

Graduation Registration Restriction

Students who have not taken the WST by the time they earn 75 units (counting no more than 70 transfer units) may have their registration held after being notified of the need to test. (The WST hold will not be in force while the temporary suspension is in force. See Temporary WST Policy for more information.) Students with 120 or more units who have not applied for graduation will not be allowed to register until they have submitted that application. Students with 150 or more units may be required to meet with an advisor in the Undergraduate Advising and Success Center (UASC) before registration and may have their registration for remaining requirements managed. Students who have changed their graduation date multiple times or who are otherwise in potential violation of Presidential Directive 2009-05 may be required to meet with an UASC advisor.
