Transfer Graduation

Each spring quarter we will celebrate our graduating transfers. We believe it is important for our Transfer Center to be recognized for the many successes, learning and adaptability it takes to graduate from Cal Poly.

If you are graduating a different quarter reach out to us and we will make sure to celebrate with you too.
