Returning Student Drop-ins

Drop-in Appointments

Students who have been academically disqualified, away from SJSU for 2 or more semesters, or enrolled or planning to enroll in Open University classes can attend a drop-in appointment for assistance.

Drop-in advising sessions are for quick 10-15 minute questions. Students are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Topics may include:

  • Open University Courses
  • Reinstatement and/or Readmission to SJSU
  • SJSU Policies and Procedures

If we determine your situation requires more in-depth support, an advisor will reach out to you to schedule a 30-minute appointment.


Fall 2026 Drop-in Schedule

We are offering virtual only drop-in advising on the following dates:

  • Thursday, November 5: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
  • Thursday, November 12: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
  • Wednesday, November 18: 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Sr. Academic Advisors only offer drop-in advising hours during the scheduled posted times. Advisors may not be able to accommodate a student outside of  drop-in hours without an appointment. Students will be asked to schedule a future appointment or attend the next posted drop-in hours.


Check-in process for drop-in advising:

It is highly recommended to complete the interest form before starting the drop-in form for better service if you haven't already. The drop-in form is for students to get the Zoom link and confirm questions for the 10-15 minute appointment. 

Only complete the Drop-in form if you are ready to join the waiting room.

Drop-In Form

Please note that the form will be closed for submissions outside of the above listed times AND when drop-ins for the day are filled. If drop-ins are full for the day before we can meet with you, an advisor will follow up with you at your preferred email address. 


Need assistance outside of drop-ins? Please fill out the Students in Transition Advising Interest Form and a Sr. Academic Advisor will be in touch with you within 1-3 business days.
