Graduate StudiesAll graduate and post-baccalaureate applicants (e.g., master’s degree applicants, those seeking credentials, and those interested in taking graduate level courses for personal or professional growth) must file a complete graduate/post baccalaureate application for admission. Using www.csumentor.edu is the fastest, easiest way for students to apply to Cal Poly Pomona.
Applicants who complete undergraduate degree requirements at Cal Poly Pomona and graduate the preceding term are also required to complete and submit an application and the $55 non refundable application fee.
To be assured of initial consideration by more than one campus, it is necessary for an applicant to submit separate applications (including fees) to each campus. Multiple applications may be submitted via www.csumentor.edu.
Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible and submit their application during the initial filing periods listed below:
| Application Term | Initial Filing Period |
| Fall Quarter | Oct. 1 - Nov. 30 of the previous year |
| Winter Quarter | June 1 - 30 of the previous year |
| Spring Quarter | August 1 - 31 of the previous year |
| Summer Quarter | February 1 - 28 of the same year |
If applying after the initial filing period, please consult the Admissions and Outreach website at: http://dsa.csupomona.edu/admissions/grad.asp. Click on important deadlines to see a listing of University department graduate admissions deadlines.
Please note that there are two deadlines for admission. The application deadline precedes the supporting document deadline. Official transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Admissions by the supporting document deadline. Other supporting documents required by individual departments might include unofficial transcripts, a copy of the admission application submitted via www.csumentor.edu, results of the GRE or GMAT, resume, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, portfolios, etc. Such supplemental materials must usually be sent directly to the department requesting them. Please review the departmental websites to confirm which supplemental documents are required by which departments.
Graduate and credential program pre-admission counseling is available for prospective students interested in pursuing a master's degree or credential program. Please call (909) 869-5299 to schedule an appointment with an admission counselor.
