Disqualified students may enroll in Professional Education programs; however, the university, in considering applications for readmission and reinstatement, does not accept 400-series course credit as evidence of qualification for reinstatement.
Students desiring to apply extension credit toward the requirements for any degree or teachers’ credentials must secure approval from the department that is authorizing the reinstatement.
All students enrolling through Professional Education must meet course prerequisites and are bound by all applicable university regulations given in this catalog, or in the most recent Winter Session, Summer Session or Open University schedule of classes.
Information concerning tuition fees, admission and registration policies and procedures, withdrawal and refund policies, grading systems, academic standards and student advisement may be found in this catalog. Regulations concerning the application of Professional Education credit toward bachelor’s degrees and toward residence credit in the university are given elsewhere under Credit for Professional Education.
State Authorization for Distance Education
Distance education authorization only impacts prospective students who are interested in completing a SJSU degree or certificate program (S16-17) while simultaneously residing in another state.
States expect institutions to obtain approval for regulated activities that occur in their state. These activities may include but are not limited to online learning, practical experiences, faculty teaching from another state, marketing, and advertising. The requirements as to which activities require authorization, the application processes, and the costs to comply vary greatly from state to state. An institution’s compliance (or lack thereof) can affect its ability to receive federal financial aid.
Accreditation
San José State University is accredited by the Senior College and University Commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACSWASC). To view SJSU’s most recent accreditation letter as well as learn more about visits and reports, please visit SJSU’s WASC Accreditation.
