Your status when you left and how long you've been away will determine your path to re-enrolling. * If you are an undergraduate and have not been enrolled for two terms, you are eligible to re-enroll without additional steps. The Office of the Registrar can help guide you through your re-enrollment. * If you've been away for three consecutive terms (fall, winter, spring) or longer, you'll need to follow the procedure on this page that applies to you. Be sure to complete the application by the deadline for the term you wish to return. Application Deadlines for Returning Students Returning undergraduate and graduate students can apply for fall or spring terms. There is no application fee required. Term Application Deadline Fall term July 1 Spring term Nov. 1 Summer term No applications accepted Undergraduates Returning to the Same Major * Complete the CSU application for former students. * Submit official copies of transcripts from any institution attended since leaving Cal Poly. * If you did not leave Cal Poly in good standing, you are strongly encouraged to contact your college advising center prior to re-applying.
