Cal Poly Pomona is among six CSU campuses that converted from quarters to semesters. The semester schedule provides for deeper, more meaningful student projects, richer learning experiences, and extended time to develop mentoring relationships between students and faculty. In addition, it better aligns Cal Poly Pomona’s academic schedule with the vast majority of California community colleges, opening up more opportunities for efficiency and collaboration.</p> <p>Throughout the conversion process, Cal Poly Pomona focused its efforts on student success. Students did not lose credits toward their degree nor extend their expected time to graduation because of the conversion process. Before the transition to semesters in fall 2018, the university provided advising and support for students to complete individual academic plans. The university ensured that financial aid and annual tuition fees on the semester calendar stayed similar to the quarter calendar.</p> </section> </div> </div> </main> <div lang="en"> <footer class="container-fluid" id="main-footer"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg col-md col-sm-6 address text-left"><img alt="cal poly pomona" class="footer-logo" src="https://www.cpp.edu/common/2018/assets/img/cpp-white.png"/> <p>3801 West Temple Avenue, Pomona, CA 91768</p> <div class="copyright"> <p class="copyright-text">漏2024 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona</p> <p class="copyright-text">All Rights Reserved</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg col-md-7 col-sm-6 footer-links"><a href="https://www.cpp.edu/aboutcpp/index.shtml" title="Cpp About">About Cal Poly Pomona</a> <a aria-label="Cpp Feedback" href="https://www.cpp.edu/website-feedback.shtml" title="Cpp Feedback">Feedback</a> <a aria-label="Cpp Privacy" href="https://www.cpp.edu/privacy.shtml" title="footer - Privacy">Privacy</a> <a href="https://www.cpp.edu/accessibility.shtml">Accessibility</a> <a href="https://www.cpp.edu/file-viewers.shtml">Document Readers</a></div> </div> <div class="row" id="csu-footer"><a href="https://www2.calstate.edu" title="California state university"> <img alt="california state university" src="https://www.cpp.edu/common/2018/assets/img/csu-wordmark-horizontal.png"/> </a></div> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-hwg4gsxgFZhOsEEamdOYGBf13FyQuiTwlAQgxVSNgt4=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script><script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.12.9/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-ApNbgh9B+Y1QKtv3Rn7W3mgPxhU9K/ScQsAP7hUibX39j7fakFPskvXusvfa0b4Q" crossorigin="anonymous"></script><script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-JZR6Spejh4U02d8jOt6vLEHfe/JQGiRRSQQxSfFWpi1MquVdAyjUar5+76PVCmYl" crossorigin="anonymous"></script><script src="https://www.cpp.edu/common/2018/assets/js/cpp.js" ></script><script src="https://www.cpp.edu/common/2018/assets/js/tabs.js" ></script> </footer> </div> </body> </html>
