Students go on probation when their GPA falls below a 3.0. You need to submit the Mandatory Graduate Probation Advising Form to the Engineering graduate coordinator. Your graduate coordinator will help you plan your course work to improve your academic standing. For more information, please visit the Graduate Studies Academic Probation page.
Students are eligible to take two elective courses from other schools/departments to be counted towards their non-engineering coursework requirements, upon approval by graduate coordinator. The Engineering school has a cross registration agreement with San Jose State University and UC, Berkeley.These elective courses can be taken at these institutions.
The ATC form needs to be filed and approved by graduate program coordinator in the semester before research courses (Engr 895 or Engr 898) are planned to be taken. For more information, please visit the Graduate Studies Steps to Graduation page.
You need to submit a Petition for ATC Substitution or Committee Revision Form to your graduate program coordinator for approval.
Your ATC and Culminating Experience Proposal status can be seen in mySFSU .
