OPEN UNIVERSITY REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Open Minds, Open Doors, Open University

The Open University program allows high school graduates, working adults, and students from other universities to attend regular SDSU classes if classroom space is still available once matriculated students have registered.

Please Note: Undergraduate students who have been disqualified from SDSU will not be allowed to attend Open University or classes through the SDSU College of Extended Studies' Special Sessions until one year has passed from the date of their disqualification. Graduate students will not be allowed for one semester following disqualification.

You can select from the courses offered in SDSU's current class schedule. The registration process is easy; University admission is not required. These classes are offered on a space-available basis only. We cannot guarantee a space or that you will be accepted into any class. Instructors are not required to accept Open University students even if space is available.

To obtain a class schedule: University General Catalogs and Graduate Catalogs are available at the bookstore. They may also be ordered via the web at: www.aztecshops.com. Current SDSU class schedules may be viewed on the web at: www.sdsu.edu.

Credit: The credit you earn is non-matriculated resident credit. Twenty-four units of Open University credit may be applied toward an SDSU undergraduate degree. For graduate students, not more than nine units of coursework taken in Open University prior to admission to an advanced degree or advanced certificate program are accepted for a program of study.

Online Web Portal Accounts: All Extended Studies students taking credit courses who need to access SDSU online services (transcripts, library, blackboard, etc.) should create an SDSU web portal account by going to www.sdsu.edu/e-services.

Blackboard: Open University students must register, complete payment, and create a web portal account prior to signing on to Blackboard.

Note: Open University classes are not available to SDSU matriculated students. International students on the F-1 or J-1 visa are prohibited from enrolling in Open University courses without proper authorization from their international student advisor.

Online registration is not available for Open University.

Four easy steps to register

1	Check the University's class schedule for the courses you want, and check the web site to see which courses are open.
2	Obtain an Open University enrollment form from Extended Studies or academic department offices. Each form can accommodate two classes. Forms are available one week prior to the start of the semester. Do not use the registration form in the College of Extended Studies catalog. Be sure you also receive an Open University Information Sheet. This lists deadlines and important registration information.
3	Attend the first class to obtain the instructor’s signature. Forms will not be accepted by Extended Studies before the registration dates below. If your course is in the colleges of Business, Education, Engineering, or Health and Human Services, you must also get the department chairperson's approval signature on your form. See the back of the Information Sheet for specific departments requiring signatures, and office locations.
4	Bring or mail signed and completed forms with payment to Extended Studies by the deadline below. University courses cost $197 per unit. Mailed forms are considered received as of the postmark date. We accept cash, checks, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card, and Visa. Cash is not accepted after 5 pm or on Saturdays. Faxed forms cannot be accepted.
