Spring 2020 Impaction Results by Major

All majors at SJSU are impacted for transfers, meaning that all applicants compete for space in the major, based on the applicant's cumulative GPA for all transferable courses completed at the time of application.** In addition, all domestic transfer applicants must have submitted a supplemental application to be considered for Spring 2020 admission.

For Spring 2020, SJSU will rank all transfer applicants by major based on self-reported grade point average (GPA) as submitted on SJSU's supplemental application and offer admission to applicants in sufficient numbers to meet that individual major's capacity. Please note that SJSU did not consider any updates made to your CalStateApply application after the priority filing period (August 31).

Preference was given to local applicants through a .25 GPA increase for those applicants who earned the majority of their transferable units at the time of application from a Santa Clara county or Santa Cruz county college.

SJSU began admitting Spring 2020 applicants in mid-October. Please continue to check your MySJSU account for updates to your admission status and messages posted about our progress in our admission process. Applicants in a Decision Pending (DP) status are still under consideration for admission.

Impaction results categories

Provisionally admitted

Additional details about requirements to maintain eligibility to enroll are included in admission materials. Applicants in this category include:

• Applicants who met the impaction threshold for their primary major as listed below
• Applicants who met the impaction threshold for their alternate major AND there was additional capacity to enroll students in that major.

Withdrawn unaccommodated

Applicants in this category include:

• Applicant who met minimum CSU eligibility requirements but did not meet the individual major's impaction threshold.

SJSU will admit an applicant to their alternate major only if there is additional capacity beyond those admitted as a primary major. This means that you might meet the threshold for your alternate major, but because there is no additional enrollment capacity in that major, your application will be withdrawn as unaccommodated.

**Some SJSU programs gave preference to transfer applicants who completed program-specific preparatory courses. Please see the programs with supplemental coursework section below for the impaction results for those majors. For these majors, applicants were ranked on a combination of the self-reported GPA and major-specific preparatory coursework completed as submitted on the supplemental application.
