 Welcome to the International Education & Programs (IEP) web site. Here you may easily explore the many programs and services available through our office for international students studying at Cal Poly, visiting faculty and researchers, and Cal Poly students who wish to study abroad.
Understanding other cultures and language is more important today than ever before in our nation's history, and the well-trained and deeply committed staff of IEP are eager to help you pursue these opportunities through Cal Poly.
So have a look. Jot down any questions you may have. And then please stop in and see us in Building 38 Room 145 or email us at iep@calpoly.edu.
International Education and Programs and University Housing have been collaborating on a new “Global Living and Learning Community” that will be offered in one corridor of the Cerro Vista Apartments. Many U.S. universities offer similar theme floors that integrate returning study abroad students with international students and offer special programming that will assist students with cultural adjustment or reintegration. We see this diverse living community option as a way to provide academic enhancement, while creating an international community. With this exceptional combination of students and commitment to diversity, the “Global Living and Learning Community” can help prepare you today for the multicultural environment and global workplace of tomorrow.
If you are interested in living in the "Global Living & Learning Community" located in the Cerro Vista Apartments, click here.

On February 5, 2008, Chancellor Reed approved a $200 study abroad fee for students participating in the following Cal Poly affiliated study abroad programs beginning Summer 2008: AustraLearn, Cultural Experiences Abroad (CEA), the Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS), the Foundation for International Education (FIE), and the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC).
This fee is approved to cover administrative costs incurred to partner with study abroad programs around the world. The $200 charge will be placed on the student's Cal Poly account during the registration period for the term the student will study abroad. The fee payment is due within four days, unless the student is receiving financial aid. Failure to pay the fee within the four-day period will result in a "hold" on the student's account.
This campus study abroad fee will not result in additional costs for the student because the study abroad program provider will also issue a $200 automatic discount to be deducted from the student's study abroad program fees.
Refund Policy: If you decide to withdraw from a study abroad program, the Study Abroad Office must be notified in writing at least 60 days before the study abroad program start date. With proper notification we will credit the $200 on the student's Cal Poly student account.
