Application Process

Cal Poly Pomona wants to make the application process as simple as possible, which is why we have put together an application checklist  that lets you know what you need and best practices when applying. You can apply via Cal State Apply.

Before you apply, we recommend that you carefully review the Cal Poly Pomona transfer admission requirements to be considered. Admission into Cal Poly Pomona is competitive as we have more qualified applicants than we can admit. Cal Poly Pomona will consider you for admissions to your alternate major if space is available, but cannot guarantee consideration for your alternate major/program. We prioritize applicants within the same academic college. Students who have been admitted should review the Next Steps Checklist.

Spring 2025

Application Filing Period: August 1 - 31
Available Majors:  All Majors (Except Architecture, Animal Science, Animal Health Science)
All admission requirements must be completed by the end of Summer 2024 (prior to enrollment at CPP).

Cal Poly Pomona will be accepting applications for all undergraduate majors for the Fall 2025 admission cycle. All admission requirements must be completed by the end of Spring 2025 (prior to enrollment at CPP). Begin your application here.

Have your unofficial transcript(s) on hand when filling out the application as you will be asked to enter all courses you have completed, those in progress and any courses you are planning on taking.

Most students can obtain their unofficial transcripts through their student portal from the College/University that they attended or are currently attending.
