Will Cal Poly accept my credits from an out-of-state community college?

I'm thinking of transferring to Cal Poly from a community college outside of California. Has anyone done this before? How does Cal Poly handle transfer credits from out-of-state schools?

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo reviews transfer credit from out-of-state schools on a case-by-case basis. Usually, this involves assessing the similarity between the content and level of the courses taken at your community college and those offered at Cal Poly. General education courses and courses that are similar to those in the major you're applying to will have the best chance of transferring.

Bear in mind that there is no guarantee all of your credits will transfer. You should consider sending course syllabi and other relevant information to Cal Poly — it will be helpful in the evaluation process. I recommend that you reach out to the Office of Admissions at Cal Poly to get more tailored advice for your specific situation.

Finally, keep in mind that, besides transferring credits, you'll also need to meet the general requirements for transfer students, which include having a certain number of transferable semester units completed. Ensure that you're on track with these as well!
