In addition to your undergraduate admissions application, you will also need to submit other necessary documents including official transcripts from all institutions attended and standardized test results.  Ask that these documents be sent directly to the Office of Admissions and Outreach at Cal Poly Pomona for the term in which you are applying by the requested dates.

At this time, Cal Poly Pomona is experiencing increased demand across all class levels, but the increase is most dramatic with entering freshmen. The campus anticipates that the increased freshman demand will exceed our capacity to offer a quality education to our students. Therefore, be advised that even though you may submit an application to an impacted major and identify an alternate major, we may not be able to accommodate you in that alternate major. Please keep this in mind when applying to an impacted program.
