<p>SJSU has been extremely harsh with all of its rules regarding transfer students. I’m not saying that one shouldn’t go ahead and ask administration at SJSU–but I am saying that it is very possible this student will have to look at “plan B” – waiting an extra year before going to SJSU or trying to transfer to another school.</p>
<p>Among other personal stories I have heard with SJSU woes have included students being accepted into programs (a teacher certification program) and mid-year cuts halving the program. Meaning, the students were IN the program one day and the next day they were told they’d have to wait a full year before starting their teacher certification program. </p>
<p>As far as I know, minors or double majors are no longer allowed. CURRENT students who are double-majors are being forced to finish a single major and ditch the other – but not allowed to choose <em>which</em> major to keep – they are forced to finish the one they are closest to finishing. On a radio show a student complained that he was a double major - Biology and German. His intent was to go into the Biology field as a career… but because he was <em>closer</em> to finishing off a German degree he was cut off from his Biology classes. How useless is that in terms of career options?</p>
<p>So on and so forth. If SJSU is brutal enough to make the above type cuts, I doubt they will be too sympathetic to incoming students short some credits. But good luck - hope I am wrong. Would love an update so that others know what the environment is like at SJSU for transfer hopefuls.</p>
