You are required to attend a mandatory freshmen orientation program before to enrolling Cal Poly Pomona. This two-day, one-night program includes important campus presentations, academic advising, and registration.

In partnership with the Veterans Resource Center, Orientation Services is hosting a separate lunch session at every transfer program for all  Veteran students or dependents. 

If your military service or training makes it challenging for you to attend the on-campus program, please contact Orientation Services at (909) 869-3604 or orientation@cpp.edu and we will do our best to assist you.
