Returning Student FAQs
There are key differences between Returning Students and Returning Transfers, please carefully see differences below:
- A returning student is someone who left CPP and has not attempted units at another college/university and would like to return under the same major they were initially admitted under.
- A returning transfer is someone who left CPP and has attempted units at another college/university, and/or intends to return to a different major from what they were originally admitted under.
- Returning transfers must meet transfer requirements to be considered for readmission
If you are returning from an official CPP approved Leave of Absence (LOA), please contact the Bronco Advising Center (BAC) for next steps. If your LOA has passed the approved timeframe then you will need to submit a Returning Student Interest Form.
Cal Poly Pomona (CPP) is a proud military friendly campus that is grateful to serve and support its returning Veterans and military service members. As a former student, review the information from our Veterans Resource Center to determine if you can return to CPP based on military service.
All graduate students who wish to return to CPP and resume their graduate program must follow the steps below, as they are not eligible to return through the Returning Student Interest Form.
Graduate students should also review the University’s seven-year time-to-degree limit. The graduate degree program must generally be completed within seven years from the date the first course applicable to the degree was taken. Students who have exceeded or are approaching this limit should consult with their Graduate Coordinator regarding eligibility, outdated coursework, and whether an extension or additional approval may be required. See Master’s Degree Requirements for more information.
- Contact your Graduate Coordinator to confirm your eligibility, review your seven-year degree-completion timeline, and determine whether any additional steps or approvals are required.
