Important Registration Updates

Spring 2027: EE 110 & EE 110L Registration for Students Currently Enrolled in EE 98

Students currently enrolled in EE 98 during Fall 2026 must successfully complete the course before registering for EE 110 or EE 110L for Spring 2027.

Why can't I enroll in EE 110 or EE 110L?

EE 98 is a strictly enforced prerequisite for EE 110 and EE 110L. Unlike EE 112 and EE 118, which have more flexible prerequisite requirements, students must successfully complete EE 98 and have their passing grade posted to their transcript before registering for EE 110 or EE 110L.

When can I register?

Fall 2026 grades are due from faculty on December 18, 2026. Once your passing grade for EE 98 is posted to your transcript, you may register for EE 110 and EE 110L, subject to course availability.

Do I need a permission code?

No. Students currently enrolled in EE 98 do not need to request a permission code at this time. Permission codes cannot be issued to bypass the prerequisite requirement while EE 98 is still in progress.

Please Note: All students currently enrolled in EE 98 are subject to the same prerequisite requirements. Enrollment in EE 110 and EE 110L is not guaranteed and depends on course availability.

Transfer Student Enrollment Assistance

Transfer students planning to enroll in EE 110, EE 112, or EE 118 may need assistance verifying prerequisite coursework completed at another institution.

If you have completed the required prerequisites at a community college or another institution, but your coursework has not yet been fully processed or reflected in MySJSU, please complete the Transfer Student Prerequisite Verification Form.

Students must upload their unofficial transcripts for departmental review. The Electrical Engineering Department will evaluate the submitted coursework to verify that the necessary prerequisites have been satisfied.

Transfer Student Prerequisite Verification Form

Please Note: Submission of the form does not guarantee enrollment or approval of a permission code. Students must meet the applicable course prerequisites and enrollment requirements.

Permission Code Requests

Students who need a permission code for an Electrical Engineering course may contact the course instructor, an EE academic advisor, or the Electrical Engineering Department office for assistance.

Permission codes are issued based on prerequisite completion, enrollment eligibility, and course availability. Students may be asked to provide documentation verifying that they meet the necessary course requirements.

Before Requesting a Permission Code
Please review the following before contacting the department or course instructor:

  • Check Course Prerequisites: Review the course requirements in the SJSU Academic Catalog to confirm that you meet the necessary prerequisites.
  • Verify Course Availability: Check MySJSU to determine whether seats are available in your desired course section.
  • Prepare Your Information: Have your SJSU student ID, course number, section number, and any relevant enrollment error messages ready.

Please Note: Permission codes are limited and are not guaranteed. Permission codes are generally not issued for courses that have reached maximum enrollment capacity. Exceptions require approval from the course instructor or department chair and are subject to enrollment limits.

Registration & Enrollment FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about Electrical Engineering course availability, prerequisites, and enrollment restrictions.

What should I do if an EE course is full?

Students should regularly check MySJSU for available seats and monitor enrollment changes throughout the registration period.

Permission codes are generally not issued for courses that have reached their maximum enrollment capacity. Exceptions require approval from the course instructor or department chair and are subject to enrollment limits.

Will additional sections be offered if a course is full?

Additional course sections may be considered based on enrollment demand, faculty availability, and departmental resources. However, additional sections are not guaranteed.

Students are encouraged to regularly check MySJSU for updates to course offerings and availability.

Can I enroll in an EE course while completing its prerequisite?

Enrollment eligibility depends on the prerequisite requirements of the specific course.

Some EE courses allow students to register while completing a prerequisite, while others have strictly enforced requirements that must be satisfied before enrollment.

For example, students currently enrolled in EE 98 must successfully complete the course and have their passing grade posted before registering for EE 110 or EE 110L.

Students should review the course prerequisites in the SJSU Academic Catalog before attempting to register.

What should I do if I have completed a prerequisite but MySJSU does not recognize it?

Students who have completed prerequisite coursework but encounter an enrollment restriction should contact the course instructor, an EE academic advisor, or the Electrical Engineering Department office for assistance.

Transfer students whose prerequisite coursework from another institution has not yet been fully processed should refer to the Transfer Student Enrollment Assistance section above for instructions on submitting unofficial transcripts for departmental review.

What should I do if I receive an error message when registering?

First, review the enrollment error message in MySJSU to identify the possible issue.

Common reasons for enrollment restrictions include unmet prerequisites, full course sections, or other enrollment requirements.

If you believe you meet the requirements but are still unable to register, contact the course instructor, an EE academic advisor, or the Electrical Engineering Department office.

Please include your SJSU student ID, course number, section number, and the exact enrollment error message when requesting assistance.

Does receiving a permission code guarantee enrollment?

No. Permission codes do not guarantee enrollment. Students must meet the applicable course requirements, and enrollment remains subject to course capacity and other registration restrictions.

Permission codes are limited and may only be used once.
