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). This should be requested from the instructor or from the office of the department offering the course.

• If you received a Class Permission Number, enter it in the Permission Number box after selecting your class.

• Please note that most classes will continue to add students from the waitlist when seats become available during the first seven business days of the semester, per University Policy F20-1.

• Permission Numbers (add codes) will be required for all classes starting on the eighth business day of the semester, per University Policy F20-1.

Switching or Swapping 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).

The Swap class enrollment function allows you to replace an enrolled class with another open or waitlisted class. To learn more, go to FAQs for Swapping Classes.

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. Automated waitlists will run through the first nine days of the semester for most courses. Permission numbers will be required to add courses after that date.

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

• Log into your MySJSU and 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.

Feedback

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

After the third week of Advance Registration

• The automated waitlist process adds students based on priority.
  • For details on priority go to Automated Waitlist Reprioritization
• Variable Waitlist Unit Limit applies. The Variable Waitlist Unit Limit defines the available units a student can waitlist at a given time.
  • For details on this go to Variable Waitlist Unit Limit
• There is no guarantee you will be enrolled in the class from the waitlist.
• Check your schedule regularly at MySJSU to monitor your position on a waitlist.

Registration Procedures

• You may place yourself on the waitlist 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 have set up the switch as a “swap”. See Swap Class Enrollment Function details.
• 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.
• If students drop from a full class, students from the waitlist will be placed in the class before any student who attempts to add the class but is not on the waitlist.
• If you are moved from the waitlist into the class, you will receive a confirmation message in your MySJSU account.
• If enrolled from the waitlist, 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 waitlist, your enrollment limit, potential time conflicts and any additional fees due.
• If you decide you no longer wish to be on the waitlist, you must drop yourself from the waitlist.

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-if there are no other issues (see below).

Registration issues that may prevent you from moving from waitlist to enrollment. Check the list below “before” you put yourself on waitlist

• Hold: Make sure you do not have a hold on your account.
• Prerequisites or Corequisites: Make sure you meet all the pre/ corequisites(lab or workshop), major and class level requirements. Check your MySJSU for pre/ corequisite or see course descriptions on SJSU catalog.
• Enrollment Limit: Check your Enrollment Limit, you may not go over your enrollment limit.
• Time Conflict: Make sure that you have no time conflict with the class that you already enrolled
• Already enrolled in another section of the same course: Make sure you’re not already enrolled in another section of the same course
• Repeating a class: If you are repeating a class, you will not be able to enroll until a later date. See repeat and grade forgiveness page for details.
• Course with components: You must select all desired sections (lecture, lab and seminar). Space must open in all sections

If you have any issue above, you will be skipped over and the next student will be considered. You will not be reconsidered until the next time space becomes available in that 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.
