Your summer. Your schedule. Your success.

Cal Poly Summer provides a variety of undergraduate and graduate classes in four sessions for matriculated Cal Poly students. Which means you can seamlessly (without needing to enroll elsewhere nor worry about submitting transcripts) catch up or get ahead on your degree by taking courses from all six of Cal Poly's colleges.

The summer class schedule will be available on April 14. Check the Summer 2025 Planning Calendar or visit Office of the Registrar for additional information.
