Online course equivalents from other colleges can be reached
on the Internet via WWW with the URL, http://artic.sjsu.edu. This
web site offers information on which courses can be transferred
form 131 colleges and universities holding articulation agreements
with San Jose State University.
The following steps are required for a transfer credit evaluation:
1. Obtain a set of unofficial transcripts showing all the Mathematics,
Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering courses taken elsewhere that
you consider equivalent to the corresponding SJSU courses. Note
that the Admissions Office does not make transcripts available
to the CmpE Department.
2. If applicable, obtain copies of catalog descriptions of pertinent
courses that were taken at schools other than California community
colleges. Clark Library normally has copies of catalogs for most
U.S. Colleges.
3. If applicable, fill out, attach catalog descriptions, and
submit to the appropriate SJSU departments the proper equivalency
evaluation forms for those courses taken at schools other than
California community colleges. The U.S. college forms can be obtained
from the CmpE Department, while the foreign college forms are
processed through the Admissions and Records Office. Following
review, these forms should be returned to the CmpE Department.
4. Complete the worksheet included in the transfer evaluation
packet in ink. A list of course equivalencies between California
community colleges and SJSU is included. Courses not found in
the list require completion of equivalency evaluation forms by
the pertinent department to complete the evaluation.
5. If all your transfer coursework was done at California community
colleges, attach the set of transcripts to the completed worksheet
and submit to your Major Advisor. Within a week or so, unless
there are problems, your official transfer evaluation should be
complete and placed in your file with the CmpE department.
6. If part (or all) of your pertinent transfer coursework was
taken at schools other than California community colleges, attach
the set of transcripts and copies of the signed equivalency evaluation
forms to the completed worksheet and submit in person to your
Major Advisor. Once processed, your official transfer evaluation
will be signed by your Major Advisor and placed in your file with
the CmpE Department.
