Enrolling In Linked Classes

Second and Third Year design and Practice or ECS classes are linked. This means that you must sign up for both classes at the same time and you cannot mix and match studios and Practice/ECS activities. Linked Design and Practice or ECS activities will have the same section and room numbers.

Meeting The Math Requirement

Architecture students are required to take either Math 141 and 182 or Math 141 and 142. Transfer students have the following options for meeting this requirement.

  1. Transfer students who took one semester of pre calculus math and at least 4 semester units of calculus have completed all math requirements and will receive credit for Math 141 and Math 182 at Cal Poly.
  2. Transfer students who placed directly into calculus and took one 5 unit semester of calculus have completed all math requirements and will receive credit for Math 141 and Math 182 at Cal Poly.
  3. Transfer students who placed directly into calculus and took two semesters of calculus have completed all math requirements and will receive credit for Math 141 and Math 142 at Cal Poly.
  4. Transfer students who placed directly into calculus and took one 4 unit semester of calculus will receive credit for Math 141 and must take Math 182 or another Math course that meets GE&B requirements at Cal Poly. Students employing this option may take ArcE 211 concurrent with the additional Math course.

ARCE 211 & 212 Equivalents

Transfer students may be able to take courses that articulate with Cal Poly courses ME 211 Engineering Statics (3) and CE 204 Strength of Materials I (3) at their community college. For example, ENGR 50 and ENGR 52A at Cuesta College and ENGR152 and 156 at Allan Hancock are equivalent courses.

If a student takes both ME 211 Engineering Statics and CE 204 Strength of Materials at Cal Poly or equivalent courses at their community college, the two courses can be substituted for ARCE 211 & 212. You must take both courses or their equivalent to receive substitution credit.
