Civil Engineering transfer requirements: Foothill College → Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

These are the lower-division Civil Engineering courses Cal Poly San Luis Obispo expects you to finish before you transfer, taken from the 2025–26 ASSIST agreement, and matched to the Foothill College courses that satisfy each one.

Also searched as: Cal Poly SLO.

Same preparation as Mechanical Engineering. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo expects an identical lower-division list for Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, so the courses below count for either path. Decide the major later — the lower-division work is the same.

Also listed in this agreement

ASSIST lists these Foothill College courses under this major without naming a single Cal Poly San Luis Obispo course they map to — usually because they sit inside a “choose from the following” group. They are part of the agreement, so treat them as in scope and check the exact grouping on ASSIST.

Verify this list on ASSIST.org before you register: choose Foothill College as your sending institution, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo as the receiving institution, and Civil Engineering as the major. ASSIST is the only official source, and agreements change between catalog years.

ASSIST is the official source for CSU articulation, but it tells you which courses count, not when they run or who teaches them. The planner puts both together and warns you about time conflicts.
