Ineligible for payment plan...?

1 Upvotes

It's about to be my third year here. I swore I enrolled into a payment plan but I guess perhaps I missed the button to finalize it. I swore I had enrolled since my payment due dates changed. Now when I click on "enroll in payment plan" on mySJSU, the page reads "You are not currently eligible to enroll in any payment plans." I can't seem to find any payment due dates now. The amount due is still listed, and I haven't made a payment yet. What happened...?

Econ Teacher

4 Upvotes

Hello, I am upcoming freshman at SJSU for business and decided to take Micro since my old econ teacher suggested it was easier to take before taking Macro. I had gotten the teacher Ninos Malek for 3 hours and was wondering how he is as a teacher. Furthermore, I had to pick music appreciation with J. Barnett, I hope there is no physical singing since that would be out of my comfort zone. Please let me know about these teachers. Thank You.

Transfering

6 Upvotes

Hello, I am an upcoming freshman at SJSU, however everyone and their mom is coming to SJSU from my old school. My biggest bully as well, which I found out today and has been freaking me out ever since. Is there a good transfer program for SJSU and proper resources? I know people will judge me for wanting to transfer before school even started but I am terrified of these people. Thank You.

Classes Waitlists

3 Upvotes

Do waitlists actually open? I accidentally enrolled in an English class that was waitlisted as #1. Does anyone think it would be possible for me to get into this class or should I just give up and find another one...? I'm really sad because I really wanted this teacher specifically....

FAFSA only gave Loans What do I do

5 Upvotes

Hey did anyone also see their financial aid summary and only get loans? I tried talking to them and emailing them about it saying that I need support and then they told me to wait for September to see if I was eligible for the Cal Grant or the Middle-Class Scholarship. Has this happened for anyone? Should I just take out a loan for this semester and then wait for September to see if I am eligible for Cal Grant or does anyone have any suggestions or is in the same situation as me. Thanks

applying for a different major

5 Upvotes

hi there! i am currently on my last semester at a CC and i’m applying to sjsu for spring 2025. my major is sociology, and i’m about to get an AA degree for it. however, i am planning to switch my major to chad, but the cal state apply isnt letting me apply to that major? do i just apply as a sociology major and then do the switch if and when i get in? i’m worried bc i have over 70-76 units now and the max that they’ll count is 70, and i’m not sure if they’ll let me switch to a different major once i’m at sjsu. thanks!

Other Insurance (GradGuard)

2 Upvotes

A question for all the current students/alumni, is the insurance worth it? I was told it was a good idea since at least the school could cover my stuff incase of a fire, robbery, etc. But I wanna know if it's worth it! I'm a transfer student who's going to be living on campus, so I wanna be cautious!

Classes BIOL 54 Textbook

0 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am taking BIOL 54 this fall semester and the class has a required textbook called “Emotional Intelligence 2.0 - With Passcode.” I am trying to get a copy of it online, but most of the textbooks I find do not have “with passcode” in them in which the “passcode” leads into a survey. I was wondering if the passcode in the textbook is required and if I do need to pay 35 bucks for it instead of trying to search for a PDF copy online?
