A Major Advisor is a representative of the program
who can assist you in selecting courses and develop a plan for
fulfilling the SJSU and major requirements. You must consult your
Major Advisor at least once each semester.
Placement Exams
All undergraduate students must take the Entry Level Mathematics
(ELM) Exam or be exempted from it prior to placement in the appropriate
university mathematics coursework. All students who wish to enroll
in the following courses are required to take the corresponding
placement examinations.
Engl 1A requires English Placement Test*

Phys 70 requires Physics Placement Test, Physics 50 may be taken
without the qualifying exam.
Writing Skills Test (WST) and Engr 100W
You must pass the WST and have upper division standing in order
to register for any advanced general education course (including
Engr 100W). Engr100W is a prerequisite for all Computer Engineering
senior and technical elective courses. You are urged to take the
WST as early as possible.
Drop Procedure
A student may petition to drop a course after the third week of
instruction only for serious and compelling reasons. Poor performance
in a class is not considered a serious and compelling reason for
late-drop. Verification and meeting with the University Academic
Services office is necessary. Please see more detailed policy in
SJSU University catalog.
Prerequisites and Corequisites
You can take a CmpE course only if (1) you have completed all prerequisites
of the course before taking it, and (2) you are taking all corequisites
at the same time or have taken all corequisites before taking the
course. A student who takes a course without satisfying both of
the above conditions will either be dropped by the instructor or
receive a failing grade.
Course Load
You should adjust your course load based on your scholastic record,
working hours, and other factors. You should discuss your individual
situation with your Major Advisor. Students will not be allowed
to register for more than 18 units per semester without approval
from the Department Chair/Major Advisor with the Petition for Excess
Units form.
Technical Electives
9 semester units of upper-division technical electives are required.
You can select the technical electives from the approved list or
petition to take a course not on the list. The choice of technical
electives must be made in order to complete the Major Form. You
need your Major Advisor's approval (on the Major Form) to take any
elective course that is not on the approved list. To secure this
approval will require your submitting a syllabus defining the selected
course. Lower division course cannot be used as technical elective.
The last registration group finishes cycling through on Friday,
Dec. 10th. On Monday, Dec. 13th, the maximum units will change back
to 18 and you can add more classes if you wish.
