How to find ONLINE classes California Virtual Campus (CVC) is a tool which provides a course catalog for students to find online courses being offered at campuses across California. These courses may or may not count for general education credit. It is the student’s responsibility to check campus agreements via www.assist.org to determine class articulation. Please make sure you follow all the steps below. 1. Visit www.cvc.edu 2. Click on the “Catalog” tab 3. Fill out relevant search information
4. Select a course that appears similar to the course/requirement you are trying to fulfill at Cal Poly. Make note of the college and course prefix number. 5. Visit www.assist.org to check course articulations (i.e. that the class will transfer for the GE area or requirement you desire at Cal Poly). See the back side of this flyer for further instructions. Note: Only lower division courses can possibly be fulfilled at A CA Community College, upper division courses must be completed at an accredited university. You will need to consult with Cal Poly Evaluations Office or your Department to verify the course articulation. 6. Go directly to the college website to apply and register for the course. 7. When the course is completed, be sure to send transcripts back to Cal Poly, to the following address: OAR – Evaluations

Important notes about taking classes outside Cal Poly and online: 1. it may take several weeks/months to have credit applied to your degree progress, 2. review your online options closely as some require that you complete exams in person, 3. most campuses in CA are semester system and dates may overlap with more than one CP quarter, 4. online classes require self motivation and commitment – be prepared.
