The Transfer Academic Success Program (TASP) is designed to support transfer students who are placed on academic probation (AP) during their first year at Cal Poly. TASP supports the transfer of students on academic probation by providing dedicated support, improving self-efficacy, and facilitating the use of academic resources. Review our admission requirements and selection criteria, including your planned major, completed courses, cumulative grade point average, and other variables. Cal Poly does not accept transfer requests to lower departments, students pursuing a second bachelor`s degree, system visitors, or students seeking professional growth or development. As a transfer candidate, you must have completed four mandatory general education courses with a grade of C- or better. We call these courses the “Golden Four”. These include: If you`ve been taking college-level courses since the summer beyond your high school diploma, you`re considered a transfer student. Applicants applying as a transfer student must be a college junior with 60 or more transferable semester units or 90 quarterly units at the time of transfer. To determine appropriate courses that meet the English composition, critical thinking and oral communication requirements listed in the Transfer Selection Criteria Guide, refer to the GE CSU or SBCC IGETC. Use the main articulation agreement to find the CPSLO course listed in the Transfer Selection Criteria Guide and the appropriate SBCC course that meets the requirement.
Students with extra-state and/or four-year university courses should compare their catalog course descriptions with Cal Poly`s catalog to determine the appropriate course content for those courses. Cal Poly is not able to evaluate transcripts prior to selection. All students are strongly encouraged to meet with an SBCC Academic Advisor in your academic course planning process for Cal Poly.
