Q:Is it true that due to increased applications, Cal Poly Pomona will be restricting enrollment in the very near future? If so, what can I do to increase my chances of getting accepted?

A: Cal Poly Pomona has seen a significant increase in enrollment over the last eight years, with enrollment last fall reaching 19,824 students. The communities served by the campus have been very responsive to Cal Poly Pomona's commitment to providing a quality education for our diverse student constituency.
While the campus' growth is projected to continue, the number of prospective students interested in enrolling throughout the 23 CSU campuses over the next few years exceeds the number that can be accommodated. This increase of prospective students comes at a time when the state budget is undergoing budget reductions, which will impact higher education in California.
Cal Poly Pomona is actively involved in an enrollment planning effort to maximize access to the campus while maintaining a strong learning environment for both current and entering students. Our goal is to plan enrollment growth in a manner that reflects the projected campus capacity and promotes student success. Availability of classes, facilities and other campus resources is critical for students to make timely progress towards their degrees.
Beginning summer 2003, admissions are closed to lower division transfers and second baccalaureate students. Transfer applicants must meet the upper division transfer requirements, including the completion of 56 or more transferable units with a 2.0 grade point average or better.
Students who are interested in applying to Cal Poly Pomona are strongly encouraged to apply within the following priority filing period, as applications will close once application targets have been met:
