Academic Scheduling & Space Management (AS&SM): Scheduling Sections with Multiple Session Codes

In an effort to align the state-support and self-support class schedule production, AS&SM is scheduling Special Session (10W) and SJSU Online (ONL) classes following the same data entry timeline in Round 1 and 1.5 for the Spring 2025 Class Schedule Production.

In future, AS&SM will implement a change in process to simplify Special Session (10W) and SJSU Online (ONL) class schedule production, where all department schedulers will be able to enter this data at the department level at the same time as Regular Session (1). The School of Information is piloting this process change for Spring 2025. The Department of Applied Data Science and SJSU Online will join the pilot program for the Fall 2025 class schedule production.

For step-by-step instructions on how to schedule classes in MySJSU, follow our Basic Quick Guide: Processing Single Component Classes. For additional resources for new department schedulers and requesting access to MySJSU, visit our ABSO AS&SM Hub “Getting Started” page.

Academic Scheduling & Space Management: Winter 2025 Published

The Winter 2025 Class Schedule is published. The Winter 2025 calendars for Current SJSU students and Open University Students are also available, which include registration and payment deadlines essential to our students academic success.

Per the Winter 2025 Production Guidelines, AS&SM “rolled” Winter 2024 active sections to create a draft Winter 2025 schedule in MySJSU (PeopleSoft). All active sections were updated to “Tentative”. As AS&SM entered data for submitted Academic Scheduling Intersession DocuSign Forms, the status was changed to “Active”. As of today, September 24, 2025, there are a several “Tentative” sections still included in MySJSU (these are not visible to students). Department schedulers and colleges should review their list of “tenative” sections in case they want to activate them. AS&SM will plan to delete them from MySJSU on October 4, 2024.

Enrollment Status Summary Dashboard: Spring 2025 Available

In support of our Spring 2025 class schedule production (regular session), Institutional Research & Strategic Analytics (IRSA) have added Spring 2025 to the term filter in the Enrollment Status Summary Dashboard (ESSD). The dashboard will auto-populate to Fall 2024 until September 18, 2024, which is Enrollment Census Date. On September 19, 2024, the dashboard will switch over to auto-populate to Spring 2025.

What is this the Enrollment Status Summary Dashboard (ESSD)? ESSD data allows academic colleges and departments to answer a number of questions as the Academic Affairs Division strives to meet its budgeted enrollment plan and review their regular session class schedules, including the effective use of classroom resources. Refer to the “Definitions” tab in the dashboard for detailed explanations of column data. The dashboard data refreshes nightly from MySJSU (PeopleSoft).

How do I use the dashboard for Spring 2025? You can view the “rolled” Spring 2025 class schedule data (copied from Spring 2024), which is currently being directly adjusted by department scheduling staff in MySJSU (PeopleSoft) through September 30, 2024. Between October 1-18, 2024, Academic Scheduling & Space Management (AS&SM) staff will audit and make final revisions to the data. The Spring 2025 class schedule will be posted on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 and advance registration for continuing students will begin on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Refer to the Registrar’s Office Spring 2025 Calendar for important student and instructor dates and deadlines.

How do I download ESSD Data? To download the ESSD data into a spreadsheet, in the bottom right corner of the dashboard, hover over the (1) “Choose format to download” button and select (2) “Crosstab”.

Once the data is downloaded, you can add a filter to remove the “Totals” columns and save the document as a MS Excel doc or load the data in Google Sheets to filter or add formulas as desired.
