Returning Open University Registration
Self-Activation Steps for Returning Undergrads and Postbacs Who Want to Register in Upcoming Fall, Spring, Winter, or Summer.
If you attended Open University (Open U.) during the past academic year e.g. Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer, you can enroll again by simply reactivating yourself for an upcoming semester.
To avoid delays and register in classes on time, check the term-specific calendar for your reactivation date.
Typical reactivation timeline:
-
- For Fall & Spring: at least two weeks before the first day of instruction.
- For Summer & Winter: 2 weeks after registration starts for regular SJSU students
Follow these steps to activate the upcoming term:
- Sign in to SJSU One.
- Click "MySJSU" tile under the "Featured" section. You will automatically be signed in.
- From your student center, scroll down to click on “Other items” then select "Open University Enrollment".
4. Choose “Open University - Undergrad, Postbac" as the Program to Enroll and select the “specific upcoming term” and continue. A message “You have just activated as an Open University student” will appear.
Once activated, you will be able to enroll yourself online in classes starting the first day of instruction. Some classes may be closed, so you may need to place yourself on the waitlist. No permission numbers are required for most classes until the first day of class or after (See specific term calendar for the date).
Follow the steps to add classes to complete your registration.
For class schedule, calendar, or forms, please go to the specific term on the Open University page.
