Impacted Majors
Campus Impaction
“Campus impaction” means that a campus has reached its enrollment capacity for instructional resources and physical support and cannot accommodate all the eligible undergraduate applications it receives.
In this case, the campus has established a local admission area for first-time freshmen. This means that, in general, applications received from students from outside the designated local area will be held to higher admission requirements than those received from students inside the local area.
Local Area Admission Preference
Freshmen applicants applying to an impacted major will receive "Local Preference" for admission consideration based on our local area designation. In addition, as a part of our commitment to provide access to veterans, Cal Poly Pomona gives "Local Preference" to all veterans regardless of their institution.
