Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between regular and special session?
A. Funding and residence. Regular session is state-supported and state-subsidized and is for students who live within the catchment area of San José (zip codes: 936xx - 96xxx). The cap on the number accepted is related to the amount of money received from the State. Special session is totally funded from student fees and is for students who live outside the catchment area of San José (i.e., Southern California and the rest of the United States and the world.)
Both regular session and special session classes have the same instructors, the same assignments, the same content, the same timelines, and are delivered totally online. SLIS no longer offers any face-to-face classes.
Q. Can a student switch between regular session and special session classes?
A. No. Students are admitted in either regular or special session and cannot switch. Also, regular session students cannot take special session classes, and special session students cannot take regular session classes.
Q. How do I register for classes?
A. Students register for classes using the PeopleSoft system accessed through the MySJSU Web site. Select your classes in our SLIS current class schedules before registering in MySJSU. See details about the registration procedure.
Q. Do you offer every class every semester?
A. Courses are scheduled based upon an established rotation (see the rotation schedule) which indicates when particular courses will be taught.
Q. How do the cohort groups (MARA and Executive MLIS) register for classes?
A. Students in the MARA and Executive MLIS cohorts will be placed in the appropriate classes. They do not need to login to MySJSU and enroll.
