Transfer Impaction Results

Spring 2026 Impaction Review

All transfer applicants are ranked by major based on self-reported grade point average (GPA) (as submitted on SJSU's supplemental application) and offered admission in sufficient numbers to meet that individual major's capacity. Please note that SJSU did not consider any updates made to your CalStateApply application after submission.

Additional preference was given to local applicants through a 0.25 GPA increase for those who earned the majority of their transferable units from a college in Santa Clara or Santa Cruz county.

Impaction Results by Major

Applicants to the majors below were ranked on a combination of self-reported GPA and major-specific coursework completed. Applicants were then admitted to each major as specified.

All other programs open for Spring 2026 [pdf] had the capacity to admit all CSU eligible applicants to their first-choice major.

Alternate Major Consideration
SJSU will admit an applicant to their alternate major only if there is additional capacity beyond those admitted as a primary major. This means that you might meet the threshold for your alternate major, but because there is no additional enrollment capacity in that major, your application will be withdrawn as unaccommodated.
