Fees for AY 2024 -25 Special Session students are $541 per unit (with no additional campus fees). You can compare Regular Session and Special Session fees by viewing this fee comparison chart.
Please note that if you want to receive a CSU employee fee waiver or a CalVet fee waiver, or if you plan to apply for a Cal Grant, you cannot receive that aid as a Special Session student. Special Session students are eligible for federal financial aid. If you have questions, please contact the Student Services Team.
If you are graduating in fall 2024 with a bachelor’s degree and want to begin the MLIS program in Spring 2025, you can apply for admission by the deadline. You will need to submit official transcripts with your most recent grades by the document deadline. The SJSU Graduate Admissions office will calculate your GPA based on your last 60 semester (90 quarter) units. If your GPA is 3.0 or higher, you will be admitted on a provisional basis and given another deadline to submit your final transcript with degree posted. Once your final transcript is received by SJSU Graduate Admissions office, your GPA will once again be calculated to ensure it has not dropped below 3.0. Your final transcript with degree must be received before the first day of your first semester. Financial aid will not be distributed until your final transcript has been received and you have been admitted unconditionally. Contact grad-admissions@sjsu.edu with further questions.
