Maximizing Engineering Potential

Prospective Students

The Maximizing Engineering Potential Program (MEP) would like to congratulate you on completing the Cal Poly Pomona University Admissions application process thus far!

If you are interested in applying to MEP, all admitted students must attend the following events and meet the deadlines below.

ALEKS PPL (Preparation and Learning)

Eligibility for the MEP program is based on math placement and enrollment. Students must be enrolled in a math class that leads to calculus (statistics would not apply) to proceed with the MEP program in the fall. Therefore, students MUST take the ALEKS PPL prior to attending MEP Learning Community & Pre-Orientation event or have proof of eligibility for college algebra or above. Having taken AP exams but not having scores by the Pre-Orientation event does NOT constitute proof of eligibility and will not be accepted. Therefore, students waiting on AP scores MUST also take the ALEKS PPL.
