What is CAS?

Connections for Academic Success (CAS) is a program designed to:

  • help freshmen navigate through their first two years of college
  • make connections with campus resources in support of a successful start to college life
  • understand how to register for classes
  • access financial aid resources
  • balance academic and social activities
  • acquire information about support services, such as tutoring, employment opportunities and more

This can all be a challenge for a new college student. The goal of Connections for Academic Success is to help you overcome these and other challenges you might face during your first year at Cal Poly.

CAS was originally established via a unique partnership between the university and Cal Poly's student government. In recognition of the importance of a positive first year, CAS supports students in making the transition from high school to college and offers services to help plan and achieve their academic and personal goals.
