Cal Poly Pomona

Hey guys I'm an incoming comp sci transfer. Y'all got any tip, tricks, advice? Ima be commuting from Orange County.

When do I sign up for my fall 2024 classes. I accepted my intent to enroll already. I fear by the time I register, everything will be filled up.

Campus operations at CPP will be changing on Monday, February 5 due to the incoming winter storm. Faculty are advised to hold classes remotely if possible, or cancel if not possible to hold class remotely. Non-essential employees should also work remotely.

Campus will still be open and minimally staffed. The school will provide an update at the end of the day regarding plans for operation on Tuesday, February 6.

STUDENTS: Please check Canvas or your CPP email for updates from your professors regarding classes tomorrow, or email your professors directly if they have not announced anything yet.

Using CPP Connect, students can:

• View current and past courses along with grades recieved
• Make an appointment with their advisor and view their department's drop-in advising hours
• Access the Planner utility, a tool meant to help students plan out their academic path at Cal Poly Pomona.

Course registration for the Spring 2024 semester begins on October 19, 2023 (or October 16 (today) for those with priority registration). Registration windows are assigned to students by class standing, in the following order:

• Graduating Senior (90+ units completed and applied for graduation)
• Senior (non-graduating, 90+ units completed)
• Junior (61-90 units completed)
• Sophomore (31-60 units completed)
• Freshman (0-30 units completed)

To be eligible for a graduating senior registration window (beginning on the first day of registration), students should have completed 90 or more units by Spring 2023 and would have needed to apply for graduation by October 6, 2023.

Add/Drop period for Spring 2024 is from January 8 to February 2, 2024.

Students will be limited to registering for up to 16 course units during the general registration period (15 for priority registration). This may be increased to 18 units during the Add/Drop period. Graduating seniors will be able to register for up to 18 units. If a student wishes to take more than 18 units, they must submit a Petition to Exceed Unit Cap form during the Add/Drop period.

Students: Please log in to your BroncoDirect portal to view your assigned registration window for Spring 2024. It will be on the right side under Registration Window (Enrollment Dates), at the very bottom of the section. Make sure the date and time you are seeing is for the Spring Semester 2024 Term - Regular Academic Session.

ABET will be visiting Cal Poly Pomona from October 15-17 for re-accreditation of our engineering programs. They will be touring labs and other facilities in buildings 9 and 17, interviewing with students, faculty, & staff, among other things. The ABET team will not be interrupting classes or stopping random students or faculty in the hallways- rather, interviews will take place with those who volunteered/were chosen ahead of time.

In preparation for the visit, student card swipe access to all rooms in buildings 9 and 17 will be turned off from 12:00pm on October 13 (today) until 6:00 pm on October 15. The exterior doors will remain open, however all rooms will be locked and can only be opened by faculty/staff.

CPP Copypasta is a new community I just made, to showcase posts from our sub on the old site that look like they could be copypasta. Some of them probably are.

Hurricane/Tropical Storm Hilary is expected to bring heavy rain and wind to Southern California tomorrow (Sunday, August 20), lasting until Monday (August 21). This will affect the following:

• In-person activities and events scheduled for Sunday, August 20 and Monday, August 21 will be canceled or rescheduled.
• The Bronco Student Center and the Gym (BRIC) will be closed on Monday, August 21
• University Housing Services have canceled all move-in appointments on 8/20 and 8/21. Additional move-in appointments have been added for 8/22 (Tuesday) and 8/23 (Wednesday), and incoming residents should reschedule to those dates. An early move-in form is also available for those with extenuating circumstances preventing them from moving in after Tuesday.
• Fall Conference events scheduled for 8/21 have been canceled, and some may be rescheduled to a later date, pending further communication.
• Critical campus services will continue in-person. Campus employees are encouraged to work from home if they can on 8/21.

The Bronco Bookstore has announced a new Instant Access program for textbooks and course materials, known as Instant Access Complete. Under the new system, students will be charged a flat fee for access to course materials. Rates are as follows:

• $250 for undergraduates taking 7 units or more

• $150 for graduate students and undergraduates taking 6 units or fewer

This replaces the previous per-course pricing system. If you do not wish to participate in IAC, you may opt out before the end of the Fall 2023 Add/Drop period.

For more information, visit: https://www.broncobookstore.com/instant-access-complete.asp?

Financial Aid for Fall 2023 will be released to students starting today (August 14) and will apply to any outstanding charges on your account, starting with Tuition and Fees. Check your BroncoDirect account for any remaining charges after financial aid has been distributed.

Remaining tuition charges will be due on September 8, 2023 for those receiving financial aid this semester.

Add/Drop for Fall 2023 begins today (Monday, August 14) and will last until September 7. During Add/Drop you may add courses, or drop courses without receiving a "W" grade on your transcript.

After September 7 you can still drop a course but will receive a "W" on your transcript. You can no longer add courses after this date.

After September 21, dropping a course will require a serious or compelling reason.
