Hi guys! My boyfriend got into SJSU as an International 2015 Fall Transfer. He didn’t look at his orientation page carefully, and missed the chance to register for SJSU Orientation.
The Orientation RSVP deadline for August Orientation was May 2nd, but he only got his acceptance by May 30th. My question is: what to do if you missed registering for orientation for sjsu as a transfer student? Does anyone have any tips?
Thank you so much!
He should first call SJSU and ask what his options are. Since he was accepted late, there may be some leniency.
@penguinluver I am not sure about how registration at SJSU works, but usually there is an open enrollment period or a second pass registration time scheduled. If a student can’t make an orientation, they should contact the admissions office or the registrar’s office for the appropriate time to register online. He might not get all the classes he wants for Fall 2015 when registering later than those who were in orientation, but can always take those in future semesters.
If his first pass for registering is scheduled for August (when people are attending orientation), he can probably register online when the pass opens (he’d have to look up the date and time). Then, he wouldn’t miss an early chance at getting the classes he wants. Have him contact admissions about registering online on his own. Also, there might be an orientation cancellation that he can fill.
He should check out his “MySJSU” for registration pass times - late registration starts August 20th on MySJSU.
