Please also be aware that many new restrictions and procedures have been put in place on undergraduate students as a consequence of enrollment caps. Many of these can be found on various pages linked from the Advising Hub web site. In particular, undergraduates now often will have to submit forms and deal with Academic Advising and Retention Services (AARS) rather than the Registrar's Office (AARS is also in the Student Services Center). Undergraduates with high numbers of units (cumulative - 120+ now, 90+ in the Spring) may have special requirements, including extra holds, placed on their records. If you are a BSCS student with 90 or more cumulative units, you are strongly advised to submit a major form and a graduation form as part of your advising and registration steps. (BSCS students in some categories will be required to do so.)
The CS Undergraduate adviser Rocio Avila has started a Yahoo Group for information of interest to CS students, especially registration/advising information that is difficult to find on the main SJSU website. Please sign up! (SPECIAL NOTE: This group is primarily for undergraduate students. If you are a graduate student, please be aware that not all of the information disseminated through this group will apply to you.)
Students should be aware that not all courses are taught each semester. To see when courses are offered follow the link "Course offering pattern" under the "Course Information" header on the left side of this page.
