Students must take INFO 203 in their first semester. This one-unit course opens two weeks before the semester starts. It is an introduction to the tools and skills students will need to be successful in their work at SJSU’s School of Information. We encourage students to start and finish the course early if they can.

Requests to add the class after the semester has started are not granted without extenuating circumstances and must be within the first 7 days. No exceptions.

Timeline

1. November-December: Students register for INFO 203.
2. By January 5 (end of day): Students will receive instructions from their INFO 203 instructor about how to access their Canvas course site. Instructions will be sent via MySJSU messaging and by email. Canvas accounts will be activated by the university before INFO 203 begins. See Getting Started with Canvas.
3. January 6: INFO 203 course sites become available. Students are strongly encouraged to begin the course work prior to the official start of the semester in order to better prepare for their other classes.
4. January 23: Spring semester officially begins. All new students should be 1) registered in INFO 203 on MySJSU and 2) enrolled in the course site on Canvas.
5. February 19: INFO 203 course completion deadline. This deadline is firm. Students who do not successfully complete the course by this date will have a hold placed on their registration for the next semester. 
   
   **Be aware that MySJSU may list the dates for 203 as January 23-May 12. Ignore those dates. The class will be available starting January 6 and will end February 19.
