The CPP Conditional Admission Program allows future Cal Poly English Language Institute (CPELI)
students the opportunity to apply for a guaranteed admission spot for the Fall term 2015, on the condition

maintains his/her SEVIS record with CPELI for the duration of his/her studies prior to entering the
university.
