| The California State University (CSU) designates major programs as impacted when more applications are received in the initial filing period from CSU eligible applicants than can be accommodated by the campus.
The CSU will announce during the fall filing period those programs that are impacted and the supplementary criteria campuses will use. That announcement will be published in the CSU Review, which is distributed to high school and college counselors. Information about the supplementary criteria is also sent to program applicants.
Cal Poly Pomona's only impacted major is Architecture. Applications to Architecture will be accepted during the fall initial filing period (Oct. 1 - Nov. 30) from California residents only. How to apply to Architecture: |
- applications must be filed by November 30 for the Fall Quarter of the following year (postmark by Nov. 30 will be accepted);
- applicants must meet regular University admission requirements, and meet additional standards required by the Department of Architecture. Please contact the College of Environmental Design, Office of Students Affairs at (909) 869-2670 for details on supplementary admission criteria;
- selection for positions (first-time freshmen applicants) is determined by ranking the Eligibility Index, which is comprised of high school GPA and SAT/ACT scores;
- admission of upper division transfer students will be based on overall GPA in transferable courses, and completion of all "Golden Four" courses with a grade of "C" or better. The Golden Four courses consists of the following:
| |
1. Oral Communication
2. English Composition
3. Critical Thinking
4. Quantitative Reasoning |
| These courses shall all have been completed by the end of the fall quarter in which the student applies to the program (e.g., by the end of fall 2007 for entrance in fall 2008); |
- transcripts must be on file in the Office of Admissions and Outreach by March 1; and
- eligible California veterans receive admission priority.
Applicants are notified of the Department's decision in April.
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. |
