Term Activate

If you are returning to San Jose State after a break in your studies or enrolling mid-year, you need to reactivate your MySJSU account access for the new term before registering for classes. Let’s go through the simple process to gain back access and add courses.

When to Term Activate

Term activation is required when:

• You sat out the previous semester for any reason.
• Starting classes in Spring or Summer terms.
• Returning from a leave of absence.
• Enrolling as a special session student.

Without term activation, the system will block you from adding classes for the upcoming session.

Prerequisites for Activation

Before beginning activation, ensure you:

• Have your SJSU ID and password login credentials.
• Meet any enrollment eligibility criteria.
• Have advisor approval for courses to add.
• Know the last completed term in your academics.

Step-by-Step Account Activation

Follow these key steps:

1. Login to your MySJSU student account.
2. In your Student Center, locate the Other Academics section.
3. Click on the Term Activation widget.
4. Select the relevant upcoming term and hit Finalize Activation.
5. Once activated, you can now search and add classes.

Adding Classes

After activating your account, simply:

1. Use the Class Search feature to browse the course catalog.
2. Select classes for the activated term in the shopping cart.
3. Confirm class schedule and finish enrolling.

You are all set to access campus systems and registered classes for the new term!

Conclusion

Periodically reactivating your terms ensures smooth access to the MySJSU student portal to manage your ongoing academics, payments, records and key SJSU services online without disruption.
