Continuous Enrollment

• Continuous Enrollment classes are listed as 499-level courses
• No units are granted and no grade is assigned
• Classes are offered only in fall and spring
• Each SFSU college has Continuous Enrollment courses available every semester

This requirement applies to all students admitted or re-admitted in fall 2008 or later. Doctoral students should follow their program’s specific continuous enrollment and degree completion requirements.

$360 per class

If you need to add Continuous Enrollment after the semester has ended, follow these steps:

1. Contact the Division of Graduate Studies at (415) 338-2234 to confirm you are term-activated for the semester and that the negative service indicator authorizing you to take the class is on your account.
2. Download and complete the Registration Form and Petition for Waiver of College Regulations on the Forms page.
3. On the petition form, check the retroactive add box, explain why your registration is late, and sign. You do not need to gather additional signatures—the College of Professional & Global Education will handle that.
4. Submit both forms to the College of Professional & Global Education in person or by Express Mail, along with a check or money order for the full course fee, payable to SFSU-CPaGE.
