I am trying to be an Open University student and recently applied to 3 courses under the business school and got denied from all 3. None were required core classes, and all had plenty of open seats. None of them said "not available to open university" so I assumed they were ok. Is there some kind of way to know in advance if you're likely to be denied, or is it just luck of the draw with the prof?

I'm wondering if anyone in business or engineering has attended open uni at SJSU and has input on which specific courses or professors are likely to accept an OU student. Looking for something in engineering or business schools, not interested in arts and other disciplines.

I will be joining SJSU this fall as an open university student to take a few courses in finance.

However, I am a bit older (25) and originally graduated with a BS in electrical and computer engineering in '23 from another university. I have been working for 3 years at a big tech company and have sort of lost touch with the college life. I am thinking of joining some student orgs to stay active and connected, but not sure if they admit people like me. Wondering if any open uni or perhaps older students have experience with this.
