Spring 2022 Transfer Impaction Results
Spring 2022 Impaction Results by Major
All majors at SJSU are impacted for transfers, meaning that all applicants compete for space in the major, based on the applicant's cumulative GPA for all transferable courses completed at the time of application.* In addition, all transfer applicants that applied during the priority application period must have submitted SJSU's supplemental application to be considered for Spring 2022 admission.
For Spring 2022, SJSU will rank all transfer applicants by major based on self-reported grade point average (GPA) (as submitted on SJSU's supplemental application) and offer admission to applicants in sufficient numbers to meet that individual major's capacity. Please note that SJSU did not consider any updates made to your CalStateApply application after submission.
Additional preference was given to local applicants through a .25 GPA increase for those applicants who earned the majority of their transferable units at the time of application from a Santa Clara or Santa Cruz county college.
SJSU began admitting Spring 2022 applicants in late October. Please continue to check your MySJSU account for updates to your admission status and messages posted about our progress in our admission process. Applicants in a Decision Pending (DP) status are still under consideration for admission.
Impaction results categories
Provisionally admitted
Additional details about requirements to maintain eligibility to enroll are included in your admission materials. Applicants in this category include:
- Applicants who met the impaction threshold for their primary major as listed below.
- Applicants who met the impaction threshold for their alternate major AND there was additional capacity to enroll students in that major.
Withdrawn unaccommodated
Applicants in this category include:
- Applicant who met minimum CSU eligibility requirements but did not meet the individual major's impaction threshold.
*Some SJSU programs gave preference to transfer applicants who completed program-specific preparatory courses. Please see the programs with supplemental coursework section below for the impaction results for those majors. For these majors, applicants were ranked on a combination of the self-reported GPA and coursework completed as submitted on SJSU's supplemental application.
Alternate Major Consideration
SJSU will admit an applicant to their alternate major only if there is additional capacity beyond those admitted as a primary major. This means that you might meet the threshold for your alternate major, but because there is no additional enrollment capacity in that major, your application will be withdrawn as unaccommodated.
