About OPEN UNIVERSITY
Open University allows access to Cal Poly's quality Learn by Doing instruction without formally enrolling in the university as part of a degree granting program.
Open University is managed by Cal Poly EPaCE. Current Cal Poly students, except for students enrolled in degree programs administered by EPaCE, are not eligible for enrollment via Open University.
Why OPEN UNIVERSITY
Open University provides:
- Interested individuals the opportunity to take courses in diverse subjects to pursue personal areas of interest or expand their professional skills.
- An avenue for former Cal Poly students to increase their GPA in order to be considered for reinstatement.
- Access for students planning to enter a post-baccalaureate or graduate program who need to fulfill prerequisite courses or improve their GPA.
Open University is a unique opportunity for students that are not currently admitted into Cal Poly to take classes and get academic credit.
