Add/Withdrawal Policy

Register for Classes

Registration fees for academic classes that are administered through Extended, Professional and Continuing Education (EPaCE) are paid through your Cal Poly portal or the cashier's office. Students are required to register by the enrollment deadlines for their programs. You register for these classes by calling EPaCE. Certain programs may register students automatically as a cohort.

Some programs may have a late registration fee; see yours for more information.

Your registration may not be processed if:

• You have not met pre-requisites
• You have holds on your student account
• It is past the enrollment deadline

Students will be billed for their tuition through the "My Cal Poly" portal. If not already set up, students must initialize their Cal Poly Portal by calling the Cal Poly Service Desk at (805) 756-7000. Additional information on fees.

Dropping or Withdrawing From a Class

You cannot drop classes through your Cal Poly portal.
