Hi guys, I have a question. I am thinking about applying to Cal Poly for a Business major, but might want to transfer to Engineering. How difficult is it to transfer and what are the requirements? If I meet all of the requirements, will I be able to transfer? Thanks!
Here are some links on how to change majors. Are you an in-coming Freshman? You need to wait 1 quarter before attempting to switch majors. Switching within the School of Engineering is much easier than from an outside school such as Business. If you are an in-coming Freshman, they will take a look at your HS record to see if you were initially qualified for the Engineering major at time of application.

Thank you. Do they look at senior year in particular when taking a look at your HS transcript? Or is it the rest of the grades as well?
I am sure they into consideration your whole HS record but 9-11th is what qualifies you for admission in the first place. It is possible to switch just no guarantees. Follow the steps outlined in the links and consult an advisor.
You will also likely be behind the moment you switch. Engineering curricula are so sequential that it really begins at zero the moment you change.
