Special Enrollment Programs
California offers structured special enrollment pathways that enable eligible participants, including high school dual enrollment students and matriculated college students, to take courses across its three public higher education systems: the California State University (CSU), the University of California (UC), and the California Community Colleges (CCC). These programs are designed to broaden access to postsecondary coursework, strengthen academic preparation and progression, accelerate time to degree, and promote efficient use of instructional resources across the state’s public higher education systems.
Special Enrollment Programs include:
- CSU Fully Online Courses
- CSU Visitor Enrollment
- CSU Concurent Enrollment
- Intersystem Cross Enrollment
- Dual Enrollment Program
e-Learning
San José State University delivers distance education courses via Web-based learning management systems and resources. These courses are offered by individual departments in regular and special sessions.
CSU Fully Online Courses - CourseMatch and AB386
Matriculated students in good standing may request enrollment in one course per term offered by a CSU host university. Enrollment requests will be granted based on available space, as well as completion of any stated prerequisites. Credit earned at the host university is electronically reported to the student’s home university to be included on the student’s transcript at the home university. Courses completed via the CSU Fully Online Courses program are treated as units completed in residence.
CSU Visitor Enrollment
Matriculated students in good standing enrolled at one CSU may enroll at another CSU for one term. Credit earned at the host university is reported at the student’s request to the home university to be included on the student’s transcript at the home university.
CSU Concurrent Enrollment
Matriculated students in good standing enrolled at one CSU may enroll concurrently at another CSU for one term. Credit earned at the host university is reported at the student’s request to the home university to be included on the student’s transcript at the home university.
Intersystem Cross Enrollment
Matriculated CSU, UC, or community college undergraduate students may enroll on a “space available” basis for one course per term at another CSU, UC, or community college and request that a transcript of record be sent to the home university. This program is not available to graduate students.
Dual Enrollment Program
SJSU sponsors a low-cost concurrent enrollment program for area high school students to earn college credit. Students must have permission from their school principal and meet all SJSU course prerequisites, including placement exams. For applications and more information, visit Undergraduate Education - Dual Enrollment.
Alternative Enrollment Programs
SJSU offers alternative enrollment programs in which non-matriculated students can take SJSU courses for college credit without being formally admitted to a degree program. Whether you are a former SJSU student, a current student from another university, or a community member just looking to gain more knowledge, you can become an Open University student at SJSU.
Alternative Enrollment Programs include:
- Open University
