Cal Poly’s College of Liberal Arts Advising is hosting five drop-in Study Halls this spring to help students prepare for the university’s switch to a semester system in Fall 2026.
The sessions are open to all majors and offer in-person access to both CLA advisors and department faculty. Students can get help choosing between quarter and semester catalogs, using a semester equivalency guide, understanding how completed units transfer and planning their first semester schedule.
