California Polytechnic State U, San Luis Obispo

Academics

• Before seniors

Limitations
1:1 placements for business administration and economics Majors. Audition or portfolio may be required for admission to music, theater, architecture, and some art classes. Architecture requires a portfolio review soon after the March placement, and fourth-year status. Some upper-division graphic communication and journalism courses are restricted to majors and required permission. Priority will be given to students whose majors are similar to the majors of our outgoing students. Please keep in mind that you will need to be flexible in the courses you can take in order to be successful at Cal Poly. Pre-approving more courses then you plan on taking is the best practice. Please keep in mind that courses may have specific prerequisites and it may take time to verify you meet them prior to receiving a permission number. Please note that enrollment in courses is not guaranteed even if the prerequisite is met at the home campus. Most departments are impacted so flexibility is key.
