  • As of fall 2008, San Jose State University no longer allows students who already earned a baccalaureate degree to apply for a second BS or BA degree.

• Does JHSSC keep student records on file?

• What is 鈥淕rade Forgiveness鈥� and how many attempts do I get?

  • Under the Grade Forgiveness policy, undergraduate students who receive grades of "C-" or below are eligible to repeat courses taken at 91猎奇 through Grade Forgiveness. Following completion of the course the second time, the first grade will no longer be included in the student's GPA and the second attempt will be the grade of record. The first grade will still show on the transcript, but will not be calculated.

    Students repeating courses, with or without Grade Forgiveness, cannot pre-register for the course that's being repeated. The student must add the course at the beginning of the semester by getting a permission code from the instructor. Then, they must register by the add deadline of the session.

    Students admitted to 91猎奇 with 55 or fewer units are allowed up to 16 units of Grade Forgiveness. Upper division transfer students are allocated a maximum of 9 units.
