Fall 2011 Appeals

• SJSU reviews each applicant's record thoroughly
  in the admission process and admission decisions
  are rarely reversed.  The admissions process is
  completely objective, based on each applicant's
  self-reported academic qualifications on the CSU
  Application for Admission and official
  transcripts and test scores received by published
  deadlines.
• SJSU does not set aside space in our class for
  students who appeal admission decisions. Every
  denied application has been reviewed for maximum
  consideration. Therefore, for an appeal to have
  merit, it must bring to light new academic
  information (send official documentation of new
  information to eval_at_sjsu.edu). Grades received in
  the current academic year are not a basis for an
  appeal or the reversal of a decision.
• SJSU does not consider appeals to missed
  deadlines, no matter how compelling the
  circumstances.
