Nice video.

[@gryn20117]

Thanks for your videos! How do I pay for all this stuff? I’m going to be attending here next year!

[@91BTV]

The links to all of the steps including how to pay should be in the description below.

How is orientation done now since the pandemic ruined the process for freshman and transfer students?!

[@francisco8794]

There will probably only be the online orientation as far as I know. A lot is still in the process of being planned out according to the faculty. Gl!

[@gregglira9947]

This lock down got everything out of funk.

Hi Kevin! Thanks for the video, I was admitted to CPP as a transfer student for Computer Information Systems. Orientation was pushed to May 15th and Financial Aid is still not showing up in Bronco Direct. What do you think about CPP overall getting classes and quality of the education compared to other CSUs ?

[@91BTV]

Financial Aid might be taking while because most of them are working from home with this whole situation going on. Here's a link from the university website with more info on that. www.cpp.edu/financial-aid/newly-admitted-students/index.shtml. In terms of getting classes, it sometimes can be difficult because there are so many students that are enrolled. You should definitely plan your classes out having a 2nd case and even 3rd case set of classes just in case you don't get your top picks. However, I have been fortunately to get most of classes I needed every semester. The quality of education is great as we are top three in the CSUs in general. You will find professors that are extremely helpful and that are there to help you whenever you need it and of course there are those that can't teach or just not helpful but that is slim. Hope this was helpful.

[@gregglira9947]

I got my fincial aid already

[@gregglira9947]

I just need to pay the EDC and do the orientation soon

[@tallalmoshrif6643]

@@gregglira9947 Great! Are you a new student to CPP?

[@tallalmoshrif6643]

@@gregglira9947 Have you tried to check if it was waived? I didn't have to pay for it.

[@randomweaboo8062]

Nice and useful information, only problem is... I still need like half a decade before even enrolling in a College. What has my curiosity lead me to?

[@antjuice7850]

Super helpful. When are financial aid details released?

[@91BTV]

The university might be taking a while because they are mostly working from home. I would wait on for a few more days and then I would email them. Here's a link to the website with hopefully more info. www.cpp.edu/financial-aid/newly-admitted-students/index.shtml.

[@antjuice7850]

@@91BTV thank u sm this is exactly what I was looking for

[@stupid2774]

if you sign up for the 4 year pledge, can you choose your classes before orientation

[@91BTV]

While you can make a list of the classes you want to register for unfortunately you still have to attend orientation in order to enroll in them.

[@rbrooks1280]

Do you know if on-campus housing is still required considering this COVID-19 situation?

[@91BTV]

I believe so because this semester students were highly encouraged to go home but they still had alternative housing for the ones that remained. However, I do expect them to limit housing capacity with this pandemic.

[@rbrooks1280]

@@91BTV Thank you. Where is the best place to purchase Cal Poly Pomona merchandise (like shirts, keychains, etc.)?

[@lellelk.174]

Question: if I got admitted for undeclared major and once I know what I wanna do,what do I do?

[@91BTV]

There's a process of meeting with your undeclared advisor, and your academic advisor for the major you want to transfer to work out if there are any requirements such as classes you need to take in order to change into that major. At the end of the whole process, you fill out a change of major form. More info is on this website. www.cpp.edu/studentsuccess/bronco-advising-center/undeclared/major-declaration.shtml

[@lellelk.174]

91BTV it says the earliest I can do the transfer for a major is spring,so with meetings with my advisors during the fall,would I be behind others?
