1 General Requirements Bachelor's Degree 1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS BACHELOR'S DEGREE General Graduation Requirements There are eight general requirements which all students must meet in order to earn the bachelor's degree from Cal Poly and participate in commencement. The more students understand their progress toward meeting these requirements and relate them to the many programs available, the better the chance of creating an exciting educational experience and avoiding errors which may delay graduation. Students must be formally admitted to the major in which they wish to graduate, and must matriculate, in order to earn a degree. The specific requirements for each degree program are shown under the academic department offering the major and include a curriculum display with courses listed by Major, Support, Concentration (if applicable), General Education, and Free Electives. Each major has a degree flow chart, which shows the recommended sequence of courses leading to the degree; see the "Degree Flowcharts" link at the top of this page. Students are responsible for meeting all requirements, and should embrace the responsibility. Advice is available from faculty advisors, college advising centers, the Office of the Registrar, and students online Degree Progress Reports. Students should plan their degree programs carefully and review them frequently with their advisors. Students are strongly encouraged to access their Degree Progress Report frequently, including after they register each quarter, to verify that courses in which they enrolled are fulfilling requirements as expected. They are also encouraged to address any unanticipated deficiencies in the information shown on their Degree Progress Report, while realizing that recently received substitutions, transfer credit, etc., may not yet be reflected in the Degree Progress Report. As they approach graduation, careful attention to the Degree Progress Report will help ensure that they complete degree requirements in a timely fashion. Minimum Requirements for Graduation 1. Minimum Number of Units Baccalaureate degree programs... Minimum 180 units Individual baccalaureate degree programs may require more than 180 units. (Title 5, Sections 0500, 0501, 0505, 0507) A minimum of 60 units overall must be upper division (defined as any course completed by the student at the 300- or 00-level; this could include transfer work completed at the upper-division level at a four-year institution). Degree Bachelor of Arts (BA) 18 Bachelor of Science (BS) 27 Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) 27 Bachelor of Architecture (BArch) 1 Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA) 1 Minimum # of major units at level 2. Grade Point Average (GPA) Students must earn at least a 2.0 GPA in all three of the following: 1) all Higher Education units earned (all college-level work), 2) Cal Poly cumulative units earned, and 3) the major (the courses used to meet Major Courses, see the curriculum sheet; support courses do not count toward major GPA). For a definition of GPA and quality points and hours, please refer to the Grading section of this catalog. 3. U. S. Cultural Pluralism Requirement Students must complete the USCP requirement. See the separate section on USCP.. General Education (GE) Requirements Students must complete the GE requirements as indicated in the degree program and shown in the GE section of this catalog. A CSUmandated minimum of 72 units of GE overall must be completed. 5. Graduation Writing Requirement (GWR) Students must demonstrate competency in writing skills (as described below). 6. Senior Project A senior project is required for all Cal Poly students (as described below). 7. Academic Residence Requirements The minimum requirements for units taken in residence at Cal Poly are: 50 quarter units 36 of the 50 units in residence must be upper division 18 of the 36 upper division units in residence must be in the major 12 units of General Education 28 units in residence of the last 0 units counted toward the degree Extension credit or credit by examination may not be used to fulfill the residence requirements. However, a maximum of 36 quarter units of extension credit may be counted toward the bachelor's degree. 8. Graduation Application Process When undergraduate students reach 72% or more of degree completion (78% for Architecture and Landscape Architecture majors) as indicated on their Academic Progress gauge on Poly Profile, the Office of the Registrar will assign an expected graduation term for them that is the greater of either: one year away or four years from their first admit term (five years for students in Architecture and Landscape Architecture). Transfer students will be given no less than three years from their admit term. This process occurs each quarter except summer. Students will receive an from evaluations@calpoly.edu, informing them that their graduation term has been set for them, and that they are expected to graduate by that term. The expected graduation term can be viewed in the Student Center and Poly Profile. Students are not able to register beyond their expected graduation term. However, there may be legitimate reasons why some students need to extend their graduation term beyond the one that is automatically set for them. Students with such academically or personally justifiable reasons to extend their graduation term can fill out the Change of Degree Completion Term form and see their advisor for possible approval of the request to extend. The form can be found at: registrar.calpoly.edu/registrar_forms.

2 2 General Requirements Bachelor's Degree This form should also be used by students who wish to move their graduation term earlier than the one assigned for them by the university. Once notified that their graduation term has been set, students should access their Degree Progress Report each time they register, to ensure that they are fulfilling the requirements for their degree. Students are encouraged to submit any and all paperwork (substitutions, transcripts for requirements completed elsewhere, etc.) in a timely fashion in order to expedite conferral of degrees. If a student breaks enrollment prior to completion of degree requirements, she or he may be required to re-enroll and may be held to catalog requirements in effect at that time. Final Degree Conferral When undergraduate students reach 72% or more of degree completion, as indicated on their Academic Progress Gauge on Poly Profile, the Office of the Registrar will assign an expected graduation term for them that is a full four years after their initial admit term, or one year away, whichever is greater. Transfer students will be given an expected graduation term that is three years after their initial admit term. Students will receive an from the Evaluations Office informing them that their expected grad term has been set for. The expected graduation term can be viewed in the Student Center and Poly Profile. Graduate (Master's) students must submit a Graduate Application for Graduation Form to the Graduate Education Office at least two quarters prior to the anticipated term of degree completion. The actual date of graduation (degree conferral) is the end of the quarter in which all requirements have been met. This date may differ from the student s last quarter of enrollment (for example, a student who completes the Graduation Writing Requirement [GWR] or submits Senior Project for final grading after the last term of enrollment). Graduating students receive one complimentary diploma. Additional diplomas may be ordered through The University Store. The diploma is not ordered until all degree requirements have been completed. The diploma is mailed to the student s mailing address by the Evaluations Unit in the Office of the Registrar approximately three to four weeks after the degree has been conferred. It is the student s responsibility to update her/his mailing address on the Cal Poly Portal ( myportal.calpoly.edu) portal prior to the end of the final quarter of enrollment, to ensure the receipt of their diploma. Concentrations and minors are not noted on the diploma; they are noted on the transcript. Latin honors are noted on both the diploma and the transcript; the Distinction notation for Master's students is noted on both the diploma and the transcript. Once a degree has been awarded, subsequent revision or alteration of any transcript entry is permitted only for correction of proven error as certified by the appropriate academic dean and the Registrar. No changes are made to the academic record 60 days following the degree conferral date. Commencement For a student to participate in graduation ceremonies, the student must satisfy at least one of the following: shall have completed all degree requirements and not have participated in a graduation ceremony previously; shall currently be enrolled in classes that would complete all of that student's degree requirements; shall be registered for classes for the following term that would allow the student to complete all of her/his degree requirements. Students completing all degree requirements in the Winter, Spring or Summer terms, are automatically eligible to participate in the Spring (June) Commencement. Students completing all degree requirements in the Fall term are eligible for Fall (December) Commencement. Graduate (Masters) students must submit a Request for Graduation Evaluation Form to the Graduate Education Office at least two quarters prior to the anticipated term of degree completion. Commencement ceremonies are coordinated by the Commencement Office, in collaboration with the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and University s Commencement Operations and Policy Committees, and are held twice annually in June and December. See Graduation Writing Requirement (GWR) The Board of Trustees of the California State University (CSU) has mandated that all students earning undergraduate or graduate degrees in the CSU must be certified as proficient in writing at the upper-division level. Students earning a degree from Cal Poly must satisfy the Graduation Writing Requirement (GWR) at Cal Poly. Upper-division transfer students who completed the requirement at another CSU campus prior to enrollment at Cal Poly may transfer completion of the requirement. For more information visit gwr/index. Students are eligible to complete the GWR after reaching 90 units and should complete the requirement before the senior year. Students should review their program requirements to determine which of the following options is the appropriate pathway for GWR completion: 1. Pass the Writing Proficiency Exam (WPE). 2. Pass an approved upper-division course with a grade of C or better (C- or below does not qualify) AND receive certification of proficiency in writing based on a 500-word in-class essay. The course may be taken on a credit/no credit basis, but the student must earn a minimum grade of C in order to satisfy the GWR component of the class.

Students have the right to choose the catalog they will use, as described in Section 001 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. graduation requirements, elect to meet the catalog requirements in effect at the campus from which the student will graduate either: 1. at the term the student began such attendance, or 2. at the term of entrance to the campus granting the degree, or 3. at the term of graduation, or. as allowed by campus policy: Cal Poly also allows students to elect the requirements of any catalog in effect during their regular attendance. Campus authorities may authorize or require substitutions for discontinued courses. A campus may require a student changing his or her major or any minor field of study to complete the major or minor requirements in effect at the time of the change. For purposes of this section, attendance means attendance in at least one semester or two quarters each university year. Absence due to an approved leave of absence or for attendance at another accredited institution of higher learning shall not be considered an interruption in attendance, if the absence does not exceed two years. Choice of Catalog Older than 10 years for Returning Students Returning students may request to complete their degrees on a catalog older than 10 years only if all remaining degree requirements at the time they left Cal Poly do not exceed 16 units. The decision to approve or disapprove a student's request is based on: (1) her/his willingness to complete the remaining degree requirements within a specified timeframe, and (2) her/his ability to demonstrate, with written documentation, reasonable currency of knowledge and skills in her/his degree field to the satisfaction of the faculty in the applicable major, as certified by the department chair. Both the college dean and the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Programs must give approval. Currency in the degree field may be demonstrated by additional coursework, in addition to the remaining degree requirements on the student's original catalog, and/or by relevant work experience, to be determined by the department chair. Because Cal Poly degrees are always granted for the term in which requirements are completed, additional requirements may vary, depending on the amount of time elapsed and on the major field, in order to reconcile the curriculum of an older catalog with current trends in the academic discipline. The expiration of a catalog is determined by adding 10 years to the last term in which that catalog was in effect (e.g., the catalog will be older than 10 years after Spring Quarter 2027). Students are not allowed to complete a degree that is no longer offered by the University. Note: In addition to the remaining degree requirements on the student s catalog, s/he may also be required to complete the GWR. Check with the Evaluations Unit in the Office of the Registrar. An undergraduate student remaining in attendance in regular sessions at any California State University campus, at any California Community College, or any combination of California community colleges and campuses of the California State University may, for purposes of meeting
