TRANSFER CREDIT

Undergraduate Students

Students transferring into Cal Poly Pomona may be awarded credits for courses completed at other colleges and universities.  Students  must submit an official transcript from each institution where they completed courses.  Upon receipt of the transcript, CPP course and/or unit credit is determined.  Transfer courses may be applied toward specific requirements, such as general education or major requirements, or serve as elective credit.

Transfer courses are applied toward degree requirements and are based on factors such as articulation agreements, unit limitation and GE certifications.  Click on the links listed on the right side of this page for more information.

- Articulation Agreements
Articulation agreements with other educational institutions specify if a transfer course is equivalent to a Cal Poly Pomona course, accepted as baccalaureate elective credit or is considered non-baccalaureate work. For more information about Cal Poly Pomona's articulation agreements with other institutions, go online to www.assist.org or contact Articulation Officer Jose Lozano at jllozano@csupomona.edu or (909) 869-2994.

- The Transfer Credit Report (TCR)
Current Cal Poly Pomona students and entering undergraduate students who have attended Orientation are able to obtain their Transfer Credit Report (TCR) online through BroncoDirect.  For more information on the Transfer Credit Report, go to the Frequently Asked Questions about the Transfer Credit Report.  Click here for a quick guide on how to read the Transfer Credit Report.

Students who have questions regarding their Transfer Credit Report may send their questions online using the Transfer Credit Inquiry Form. 

- Additional Graduation Requirements
The American Cultural Perspectives Requirement is a graduation requirement satisfied by completing the equivalent of an approved course from the list shown in the Cal Poly Pomona Catalog (2005-2007, page 92).  Please note that completing the CSU Breadth General Education Certification pattern or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) does not guarantee satisfaction of this requirement.  Contact the Registrar's Office for more details.
