REGISTRATION

HOW DOES MY STUDENT REGISTER FOR CLASSES?
Cal Poly students register in alphabetical rotations according to their last name prior to the start of each quarter. Detailed information about how Cal Poly's registration system works is available on the ACADEMIC RECORDS Web site.

WHAT IS MY STUDENT'S ACCOUNT STATUS?
A real-time display of Student Account transactions for the current term is available 24/7 to students on MY.CALPOLY.EDU. The student’s username and password are required. Account information is not released to anyone but the student without a signed AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE STUDENT ACCOUNT INFORMATION form.

ACADEMIC ADVISING
Cal Poly offers a network of academic services, seminars and advisors designed to assist with and support your student's academic achievement.

CAL POLY'S ADVISING WEB PAGE
The University is committed to providing a broad spectrum of advising resources to all students from the time they apply to the University through graduation. Advisors help students avoid time-consuming and costly mistakes so that they can graduate on time. Students who visit an advisor regularly have more control of their goals and plans and feel less stressed about their academic progress. Cal Poly recently established a University-wide ADVISING WEB PAGE to assist students in locating the appropriate advising resources.

The Advising Web page includes ADVISING RESOURCES, which lists the different types of advisors available at Cal Poly. This listing can help students find an advisor who meets their specific needs.

It also includes and ADVISING HANDBOOK, which answers many questions about academic expectations and lists additional resources for students, faculty and staff.

PROGRESS TO DEGREE
IS MY STUDENT ON TRACK TO GRADUATE?
Advise your student to check Academic Record's DEGREE PROGRESS PAGE for course requirements, substitutions and evaluations resources. They should also stay in frequent touch with an academic advisor.
