The Cal Poly bookstore/course catalog might ask you to pay a ridiculous price for a textbook that you already have access to as a student. Try typing its ISBN or title into OneSearch and seeing what you find.

In addition to giving you access to digital download licenses, OneSearch will also allow you to filter by items physically available at CalPoly's or other CSUs' libraries.

I also know that prior years had an opt-out purchasing system, whereby otherwise you would be automatically charged for all your textbooks, so keep that in mind. Hope this helps you not get scammed

Hey Everyone, I didn’t think of this until now that I’m making my way to Cal Poly. Do we have to pay for parking while we pick up our shirt and wrist band?? And will we have to pay for parking in the afternoon when we meet with our group? Thank you in Advance:)

Im a transfer and and I was wondering if missing the first day of wow week was an option? The wed. just lands on a day where I have other things to do but I mean I would like to attend the rest of the week?

If I miss wed is it a serious issue since its check in or is there repercussions? Is wow week mandatory?

This summer semester I still managed to drop the ball on my Statics course. I averaged 64% before the final and I needed at least a 97% in the final to pass the class. Believe it or not, I got a 95/100 on the final, one of the highest scores in the class but my professor robbed me of FIVE points that I really needed to pass the class. It was a statics problem and he docked me a whole 3 points for not have the label on one of the forces acting on a block and 2 points for having the direction of a force wrong. First of, the problem doesn’t even ask to draw a FBD, all it asks for is to find the minimum force P to make the block move. I got the answer right but I feel like my professor was being unfair. The final ended up moving my grade to a 71.91% (C-) and I need at least a 73% to pass the class, he has already refused to bump me up and regrade my test, does anyone know what I can do to get a 73%? Do I have to go to the school boards and petition a grade or something? I really needed to pass this class, please only help in the comments

Not sure if this has been discussed here...

So I just got all moved in and have been trying to check my email for anything regarding WOW and I can’t seem to find anything, isn’t registration tomorrow the 18th?

Just wondering about time and dates for WOW, transfers specifically.

Also is it optional and what would be the consequence if I didn’t go?

i know financial aid is supposed to have dispersed today but i’m still waiting on the cal grant and the middle class scholarship. on money maters it says my tuition is deferred by financial aid, does anyone know how long this deferral is? when can i expect my aid? do i need to pay the first installment of the tuition before my aid comes?

Just wondering cuz I was browsing my portal.

I recently got my SAl appeal back with a -1500 SAl. The finaid department hasn't given me my financial aid package yet bc it's still processing. I was wondering if someone with a -1500 SAl would be willing to share their package with me so I have an idea of what I'll have to pay before move-in in 3 days. Please help!!

As the title says, anybody know if and where people play for fun?

When will we find out if a class will sit for a final exam? Based on the Final Exam Schedule, there are 3 classes for the major on day 1, and Stats 1110 on day 5. I understand that GenEd classes won’t have the same requirements, but is a seated exam standard? Is there a way to see a syllabus for past quarters? Thanks!
