Young Scholars Program

The Young Scholars Program, officially called the Cal Poly Pomona Young Scholars Program and abbreviated to CPPYS and YS, is a cheap concurrent enrollment program that allows students to sign up for various Cal Poly classes in their junior and senior years. IPoly students walk up to the Cal Poly campus for their classes. Students in the Young Scholar Program are called Young Scholars.

Course Pathways
Nearly all Cal Poly classes and courses are available to Young Scholars, as long as they are not classified as 'impacted courses' or are already filled with Cal Poly students.

Pricing
All classes taken cost $10 per class per semester to attend. Books, homework subscriptions, and other resources are not included in the cost; students must pay for them on their own.

Application
The process for entering the Young Scholars Program and signing up for classes is fairly simple:
 * Fill out the Young Scholar application and turn in to Mr. Anapol. Do not fill in the third page unless the student was born outside the United States.
 * Students will receive a Professor/Parent form via Mr. Anapol's email. Turn in with the IPoly registration papers.
 * Enroll in interested classes. It is recommended to stay with at most 2 classes.
 * Search schedule.cpp.edu and schedule a meeting with the professor and get permission to attend their class. Make sure the professor knows that the student is not enrolled directly at Cal Poly and is part of the Young Scholars Program.

Survival Tips
Below are some simple tips for getting through Young Scholar classes.
 * Use an empty 4th block to catch up on work or reading, or just unwind doing something you enjoy. It'll help you focus in the college class when also being productive.
 * Try not to schedule classes that start during lunch; don't forget that lunchtime is also a time to unwind, not just to eat. Keep in mind that many clubs meet up during lunchtime.
 * Just because your college class takes place after school hours does not mean it isn't as important. Take college class assignments as seriously as you would a core class.
