91¿´Æ¬Íø

Cal Poly SLO does not have Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) programs with any California community college, including 91¿´Æ¬Íø. Our students compete on the same playing field as all other transfer students in Cal Poly SLO’s selection process.

One of the most important statistics when considering transferring to a university is acceptance rates (the percentage of students that were actually accepted out of those who applied). Although Cal Poly SLO’s acceptance rates have been on an overall decline since Fall 2012 (meaning it’s been getting more competitive and tougher to get in), acceptance rates to Cal Poly SLO for 91¿´Æ¬Íø students have remained among the highest in the state and substantially higher than the statewide average. 

A few reasons explain why 91¿´Æ¬Íø students do so well in the Cal Poly selection process:

  1. 91¿´Æ¬Íø students are highly motivated and many are focused on transferring to Cal Poly SLO so they prepare themselves very well.
  2. 91¿´Æ¬Íø has more comprehensive course articulation with Cal Poly than most other community colleges, especially in majors such as Agriculture, Architecture, and Engineering. This means that students can complete all of the required/desired courses for admission while at 91¿´Æ¬Íø. 
  3. Our counselors are kept up-to-date on the  transfer selection process and the Cal Poly admission point system so they advise our students effectively.

Also, visit for course equivalency information from the community colleges to UC or CSU universities. For example, first choose Cal Poly, then choose 91¿´Æ¬Íø College, then choose your transfer major. This will show you which classes from 91¿´Æ¬Íø will transfer over to Cal Poly SLO.
