Get to know cal poly

From Your Own Home

Congratulations on beginning your journey towards higher education! We understand that current circumstances have made it more difficult to find the place where you want to spend the next few years. While we are disappointed we can't invite you to campus to experience Cal Poly in person, we are excited to be able to bring Cal Poly to you virtually. Our virtual Preview Day will help you to get to know campus, answer your questions and, hopefully, make your college search a little easier.

Welcome to Cal Poly

We kicked off our Preview Day with a student-led panel giving you an overview of Learn by Doing, our signature educational style, as well as a look at what life is like for our students. From housing to athletics to clubs and organizations, you will hear about the many resources and opportunities we offer our students.
