By Ava Uhlack, September 1, 2025For the first time in university history, Cal Poly Pomona offered guaranteed admission for California resident transfer students who meet the general California State University transfer requirements. “I’d like to say this is an original idea that we came up with, but there are schools doing guaranteed admissions,” Tuck said. Some of them include electrical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, sociology, psychology, accounting and biology. Until recently, the Chancellor’s Office categorized CPP as impacted regarding the admissions for transfer students, meaning CPP couldn’t admit as many students because it was at capacity. CPP is now categorized as non-impacted for transfer students, which prompted the initiative’s creation and encouragement of student outreach, according to Lew.
