Former Student Advising

Drop-in Appointments

Students who have been academically disqualified, away from SJSU for 2 or more semesters, or enrolled or planning to enroll in Open University classes can attend a drop-in appointment for assistance.

Drop-in advising sessions are for quick 10-15 minute questions. Students are seen on a first-come, first-serve basis. Topics may include:

  • Open University Courses
  • Reinstatement and/or Readmisson to SJSU
  • SJSU Policies and Procedures

If we determine your situation requires more in-depth support, an advisor will reach out to you to schedule a 30-minute appointment.
