First Quarter at Cal Poly

Here are some important things to do during your first fall quarter at Cal Poly.

Winter Registration

From now on, you'll register as a continuing student. The overall process remains the same, but the details will be different from when you registered for fall quarter.

Each quarter you will be given a date/time for registration, which is listed on the right side of the Student Center. This date and time is based on your actual academic progress level (how many degree applicable units you have completed), which is found on your academic progress gauge in PolyProfile. It will be updated during week 4 of each quarter.

If you have questions about what to plan or how to use the tools, make an appointment to see us.
