Freshman Steps to Enrollment

Meet All Deadlines

If you miss an 91ΑΤΖζ deadline, we will withdraw your application for admission, and you will not be able to attend 91ΑΤΖζ for the term you originally intended. If you have an extreme hardship or unusual circumstance that may cause you to miss one of our deadlines, contact admissions@sjsu.edu immediately after reviewing the undergraduate admissions appeals process.

Steps to Enrollment

Before starting the Steps to Enrollment process, make sure you have activated your My91ΑΤΖζ account. 91ΑΤΖζ communicates by posting items to your β€œTo Do List” and sending messages to your My91ΑΤΖζ account.

Step 1 - Submit Your Intent to Enroll

If admitted, you must complete the Next Steps Intent to Enroll process by the date posted on your My91ΑΤΖζ β€œTo Do List”. The Next Steps Intent to Enroll process includes accepting 91ΑΤΖζ’s offer of admission, signing up for placement exams, signing up for Orientation, and paying the nonrefundable enrollment deposit. All steps must be completed to maintain admission at 91ΑΤΖζ.

Step 2 - Sign up for Orientation

Attending Orientation at 91ΑΤΖζ is mandatory. During the Next Steps Intent to Enroll process, you will select an Orientation date.

Step 3 - Pay Your Enrollment Deposit

In order to complete the Next Steps Intent to Enroll process, you will be prompted to pay your enrollment deposit via our Cashnet website (link provided in your Next Steps portal).
