Welcome Freshman Students!

We are honored that you are considering San Jose State University to further your education. A freshman applicant is a student who has graduated from (or is still in) high school and who has not enrolled in a regular (non-summer) session course at any college or university following graduation. If you want to meet with a pre-admission counselor or take a live virtual tour, visit our Student Outreach and Recruitment office at sjsu.edu/SOAR.
