WTF? Pomona diploma?

swagner · 07-06-04, 12:25 AM

Maybe someone could shed some light on this for me. I graduated from Cal Poly SLO last month on the 12th. I just got my diploma in the mail. However - you are not going to believe this - it appears there was a mix up. My diploma is from Cal Poly POMONA -> 'Given at Pomona, California, this twelfth day of June, two thousand and four.' and it says 'California State Polytechnic University'
(for those who dont know ->
Cal Poly State University = Cal Poly SLO
Cal State Poly Univtsity = Cal Poly Pomona)

Isnt that weird? I dont even know who I would ask about this.

I thought Cal Poly San Luis Obispo was also a Cal Poly and not a Cal State.

I forgot... CONGRATS swagner on your college graduation!!

Anderson, Both 'Cal Polys' are Cal States.
Cal Poly STATE = Cal Poly SLO and Cal STATE Poly = Cal Poly Pomona.
Kaycee - Thanks

I'm headed to law school in the fall
