Congratulations, you've been admitted! Here are the next steps you need to take before your first semester.
Next Steps Checklist
Please send your transcripts to Cal Poly Pomona by April 15.
Due to COVID-19 the Office of Admissions & Enrollment Planning is now working remotely and processing time of hardcopy transcripts may be delayed. To expedite the transcript process please request an electronic copy of your transcripts sent to be sent to Cal Poly Pomona.
You are required to pay an Enrollment Deposit of $150 by June 1 in order to accept your offer of admission. The deposit will be applied to your tuition. For payment options, visit Cashiering Services. Any student who has endured a financial hardship due to COVID-19 may be eligible for an Enrollment Deposit waiver and can contact admissions@cpp.edu for more information. Note: The Enrollment Deposit is non-transferable and non-refundable.
For detailed instructions on how to pay, review the Enrollment Deposit Tutorial.
At this point, it is unclear how the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our operations in student housing and residential life during the 2020-21 Academic Year. University Housing Services (UHS) will work with state/local authorities and Department of Health to adapt our Fall 2020 room configurations and community guidelines.
Students that have already applied have until the first day of school (August 20, 2020) to cancel their application without any financial penalty. UHS will be communicating with students as information becomes available and plans for the academic year are finalized.
If you plan on living on campus, you must submit a housing application. Priority consideration is given to those who apply by May 15. For more information, visit Housing.
