New! Process for Implementing Organizational Change

Academic Affairs now has an official Process for Implementing Organizational Change. Please refer to this page when a proposal is being made to divide or eliminate an academic unit, merge it with another academic unit, or transfer it to another college.

Please contact abso@sjsu.edu if you have any questions or require further information.

2023-24 Vacant Rate

ABSO Training Site

ABSO is pleased to announce that the ABSO Training Site is now live! This site is meant to be a tool that will provide training and professional development opportunities on a variety of topics for employees in Academic Affairs. For example, here you will find the presentation and training materials from our first workshop series. 

This site can also be found directly via the ABSO Hub. Also, the Hub’s front page has been updated to make navigation easier! Tiles have been added, replacing the old selection menu which was on the top right of the page.

Please contact abso@sjsu.edu if you have any questions or require further information.

AAD Travel Guide Update

The Academic Affairs Division’s Travel Guide has been updated and now includes a section regarding the Docusign Travel Authorization Form. This updated guide is now available on the Provost’s website & the AA Resource Hub. The AAD Travel Guide is meant to be a tool focused on our division that should be used alongside the SJSU Travel Guide & Travel Checklist. Please contact abso@sjsu.edu if you have any questions or require further information.
