Transfer Success

About Transfer Success

The Transfer Success Program is a dedicated initiative aimed at supporting transfer students transitioning from community colleges to Cal Poly Pomona. The Transfer Success Program is designed to equip our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure a successful transition to our university and beyond. We  organize various events to ensure that our students have everything they need to make the most out of their time at Cal Poly Pomona.

This program focuses on four main program functional areas: Networking, Group Peer Mentoring, Career Readiness, and Outreach to Community Colleges.

All scholars will receive priority registration for the Spring 2025 Semester and Fall 2025 Semester. This is an exclusive registration period where students at Cal Poly Pomona can register before registration is available to the entire campus.

All scholars will be grouped with a Transfer Success Intern and other transfer men of color participants to talk about various academic components to have a better academic outcome.

Interact with students, professional, and faculty men of color across campus.

Scholars gain experience, knowledge, and learn about campus resources and go through building skills that make the transfer scholars more marketable for internships, jobs, graduate school.

Each gathering focuses on a different topic tailored to fit the needs of men of color transfer students and prepare them for their time at CPP and beyond.

One-on-one sessions with EOP (Educational Opportunity Program) Tutors are available at no additional costs.

Attend academic, leadership, professional, identity and personal development for men of color conferences and workshops.
