Disqualified Students: Can They Still Attend Sjsu Open University?

Disqualified students from San José State University (SJSU) can still attend Open University, a program that allows non-SJSU students to take SJSU courses for college credit without formal acceptance into a degree program. However, reinstatement is required for disqualified students to return as regular students and continue their studies toward degree completion. The reinstatement process involves meeting with a major advisor or department chair to discuss the possibility of returning to the major and taking specific classes. Disqualified students must also meet with an advisor to develop a plan to achieve the required GPA standard for readmission.

To be reinstated after disqualification, undergraduate students must follow the steps on the Reinstatement & Readmission page, while graduate students must follow the steps on the Graduate Petition for Reinstatement page. The reinstatement process requires signatures from the Department Chair of the intended major, the Associate Dean from the College, and the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies. Obtaining reinstatement does not guarantee readmission, so disqualified students must also reapply and be readmitted to become regular students again.

Open University students at SJSU can take up to 24 units (around eight classes) to achieve an SJSU GPA of 2.0 or higher and return to their major. This process can be expensive, as Open University students are not eligible for financial aid, housing, or scholarships. They must pay the full amount of the course fees, which vary depending on the type of class.

Before enrolling in Open University, it is recommended that disqualified students discuss their situation with their major advisor or department chair to determine the best path for returning to their major. They can also meet with an advisor from the Engineering Student Success Center (ESSC) to develop a strategy for reinstatement and learn about alternative majors that accept returning disqualified students.

By taking courses through SJSU Open University, disqualified students can work towards raising their GPA to the required standard and ultimately regain their enrollment in their chosen program.

Disqualified students can take classes at SJSU through Open University. However, they will have to go through a different registration process.

Disqualified students will also have to pay the full amount upfront, as payment plans are not available for Open University students.

It is important to note that only 24 units (around eight classes) can be taken as an Open University student. These classes must achieve an SJSU GPA of 2.0 or higher to return to the university as a regular student.

To become a regular student again, disqualified students must reapply and be readmitted.

They will also need to meet with an ESSC advisor to discuss strategies for returning.

The process to return to SJSU as a regular student involves several steps and a timeline that should be reviewed by the student. They will need to fill out the Cal State Application, the Reinstatement Application, and the Former Student Returning Application. Applications are typically due in the summer for the Spring semester and in the fall/early winter for the following Fall semester.

It is important to note that disqualified students do not qualify for scholarships, housing, or financial aid until they return as matriculated SJSU students.

The process to enrol in classes as an Open University student is different from the regular registration process.
