As part of our fall 2020 plan, we submitted detailed plans on how we will accommodate students who, for any number of reasons, are unable to participate in in-person activities. If you are enrolled in a course with in-person components, you will receive additional communication about the in-person course and accommodations in the coming weeks.

While Cal Poly Pomona course instruction has transitioned to a virtual format given the COVID-19 concerns, we will continue to offer student services. Read below for details on how you can access various services. 

You’ll receive any updates from the university via your CPP email address – continue to check your inbox. You can access up-to-date information about the COVID-19 health alert on the Cal Poly Pomona website.

Disability Resource Center – Accommodations

The DRC in-person office will be closed until further notice.  All staff are working remotely and the use of email is encouraged: drc@cpp.edu. DRC staff will be closely monitoring email to respond as quickly as possible.

• All DRC appointments will be held by phone or via Zoom.
• Students already registered with the DRC may request appointments with their disability advisors by emailing drc@cpp.edu.
• For students with questions about their accommodations or accessibility of virtual instruction, please email drc@cpp.edu.
• Students wanting to register with the DRC should still apply online through  the DRC Website.

Textbook Support

If there are still textbooks you need for this semester’s classes as they transition online and some instructors are emphasizing required readings more heavily, the Bronco Bookstore's e-book partners have stepped up to offer students access to materials during this difficult period without additional cost:

• Vital Source: Gives current CPP students access to up to 7 free e-books through the end of the semester. To use this resource, go to https://bookshelf.vitalsource.com, login or create an account with your CPP email address, then click on the “Explore” tab. 
• RedShelf: Gives current CPP students access to up to 7 free e-books through the end of the semester. To use this resource, go to https://studentresponse.redshelf.com/, log in or create a RedShelf account with your CPP email address and search for books by author, title or ISBN.

You can still rent or buy course materials that aren’t covered by these programs online and in the store (as of March 18, check the Bronco Bookstore website for updates before coming to the store). We highly encourage you to look up the books you need and options for purchasing/renting via the Compare page. Using this page ensures that even if you order from another source, the campus will still get a small commission.

If you rented books from the Bronco Bookstore, please check your email for a separate message that explains current options for returning rentals or buying them out to keep.
