<p>I am a transfer student from Pasadena City College. I was admitted and have accepted the offer. I realized that I am on conditional admittance and I need to to send i my final transcript for them to verify from my self-reported application. For some reason I have dropped my self-reported “planned” courses i will be taking at my CC this spring. Will this affect my Cal Poly’s decision to reject me. The class I dropped is a GE class; however, I do already have well over the minimum of 60 transferable units complete, the “golden 4” complete, and my business major classes complete. Does any one know if i will be rejected for final admissions decision for failing to complete that one GE class that i self-reported? Will it make a difference. because i read the transfer Terms and Conditionshttp://admissions.calpoly.edu/<em>admiss/undergrad/reg</em>terms_transfer.html</p>
<p>it does say that Your transcript(s) must verify that everything you initially self-reported on your Application for Admission is accurate and complete. You must complete all CSU and Cal Poly program coursework designated on your application, including those listed as “in progress” or “planned,” with a grade of “C” or better (a grade of “C-” does not fulfill admission requirements at Cal Poly) no later than the previous Spring Term for admission for the Fall Term.</p>
<p>But how about a similar scenario happened if I self-report the class i plan to take, but some how there were no seats available or because the available class time did not fit in my schedule, having me not being able to register for that class. Would Cal Poly be that strict???</p>
<p>If you’ve already completed IGETC or CSU Breadth, then it shouldn’t be an issue.</p>
<p>Otherwise, you are putting yourself in a precarious position to be rescinded. Admissions is strict when it comes to transfer students following through on their self reported planned courses. One transfer student I knew took a different calculus course that was reported on his application. Upon receipt of final transcript, he was rescinded because Admissions determined the calculus course he took was not comparable to Poly’s curriculum according to Assist.org. The student appealed and fortunately was permitted to take the “correct” course over the Summer, prior to the start of the Fall quarter. </p>
<p>If you can’t re-add the course that was dropped, try taking another in the same IGETC or CSU Breadth category. It’ll basically be seen as an even trade.</p>
<p>To be more clear, I am a business major. I have already completed my lower division Major classes for my major. ex: accounting, business calc, stats, economics, business law…however, the class i dropped a physical science which is just lower division GE in the CSU or IGETC requirement which I self-report to plan to take this semester, but I dropped it. Have done so, I am worried about Cal Poly rescinding my final acceptance. If I still have the minimum 60 transferable unit, will I be fine or would the entire CSU or IGETC transfer lower division(not lower division major classes) need to be completed prior transfer? And also, I am worried because on their website, they said they will verify what I put down on my application versus my final transcript, but as I said, What I have done, failed to do so, by that one and only GE class left to take. Many thanks…</p>
<p>what was your gpa? and are you a 2 year junior college student or are you older? (i’m going to apply this coming fall as a transfer and i’m just wondering)</p>
<p>um yeah what they said above. call and find out and ask them would it help if i took it during the summer before i attend to cal poly and then you’ll see what to do from there.</p>
<p>they want your lower division classes out of the way as well as general education before you go to slo so yeah, tell them your going to take it during the summer (:</p>
<p>thanks for all the help folks! I did call them up and they said i shouldn’t worry too much about. The advisor said that its not any big problem because its not my major class required.</p>
<p>I am currently at a 2 year junior college with about 3.15 GPA. actually this is my 3rd year already, so hopefully i will get in after they they verify my final transcript.</p>
<p>I am business administration major. Just curious, are you also Cal Poly grad of 08??..I applied business and under emphasis/concentration, I state real estate. I wonder if i enroll in the fall, I know it will be nearly impossible to change major; I don’t plan to do that however, what about the emphasis/concentration I listed, could I still change the concentration within the major because I am still under “business” major. but its not a big deal, I still have interest in the concentration. Good thing, I called them up today, got over the stress. I explained to them my situation and told them what I read for terms and conditions for admitted students. Admissions directed me to the advisor, advisor then handed over my application to the vice-president and the advisor said he cannot give me a definite answer at the moment, but according to what I told him about not fulfilling the class I listed as “planned course”, he said its not a big deal and shouldn’t affect my conditional admittance status because the dropped physical science class is not part of my major so it will just be a regular lower division GE just needed to take to graduate. But advisor says it was good that I called in and notified them that I dropped the planned course, so that the vice-president will handle and review again my application accordingly.</p>
<p>Good thing you took a proactive approach and informed them of your situation. I know from past experience that they are strict when it comes to transfers following through on their planned courses. Glad it worked out for ya. </p>
<p>You can still change your concentration even though Real Estate was listed on your application, due to the fact that you are not formally declared until it is approved by the department chair. This can be done by filling out the necessary paperwork in the Advising office, located in the first floor of the Business building. </p>
<p>You’ll be getting priority registration for Fall as an incoming transfer student. I recommend taking Econ 303, this course always fills up fast and is tough to get if you’re stuck in a later registration rotation. Reason being is that it fulfills three separate requirements: GE D5, Econ elective, and USCP. This probably won’t make much sense to you now, but make an appointment with an advisor and they can explain it in greater detail.</p>
<p>I have absolute no idea what are the “GWR” and “Upper Div GEB”. What exactly are those that needs to be met? and what are the 19-23 units electives. How come so many?</p>
<p>GWR is the writing requirement mandated at all CSU campuses. This can be completed in one of two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Take the Writing Proficiency Exam (WPE), which is usually administered at the beginning of each quarter. Its a two hour exam where youre given a short case study to respond. Minimum length is 500 words, which is about 4-5 pages handwritten. If you’re confident in your writing skills, choose this option as it will be quick and painless.</p></li>
<li><p>Enroll in a GE course with a GWR designation. The professor will administer the exam toward the end of the quarter. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Upper Div GEB (General Education & Breadth) is referring to the three upper division GE courses in Areas F, C4, and D5. </p>
<p>The 19-23 units in electives can be pretty much anything not listed on that sheet. Since youre transferring in with at least 60 units, theres a pretty good chance that most, if not all, of those electives have already been completed. Don’t sweat this too much.</p>
<p>I double concentrated in Accounting and Finance. Let me know if you have any further questions.</p>
<p>They let you double concentration?!?! I called the Orfalea school of business and they said only one concentration. I was hoping to study two. oh well, I guess not until their funds loosen up, students might be able to double concentration. I wanted to study real estates economics, but also interested in finance. I guess I will have to select either one.</p>
<p>Adesigner: The college stopped allowing double concentrations effective Fall '09 in an effort to get students to graduate, instead of hanging around for an extra year or two. Not an ideal situation, but they need to ensure there’s enough room to accommodate the increasing number of new students without any additional funding from the state, for the time being anyway.</p>
