Partner with the CSU

Thank you for your interest in partnering with Cal Poly Pomona. We look forward to exploring a potential partnership with your organization.

This form will initiate the process for us to learn more about your organization and the off-campus learning opportunities that you’d like to make available to students. Ideally, a representative of the organization who is familiar with the learning activities that university students will be engaged in, as well as your safety policies and procedures should complete this form.

General Partnership Criteria

The following general partnership criteria apply to all off-campus academic learning partnerships with the California State University (CSU). Additional program criteria may apply and are indicated in the program section. Please review the criteria and complete the acknowledgment statement.

  • Provide students with an on-site orientation that includes, but is not limited to an overview of the organization's programs, policies, procedures and clients served; the service or work the student will be performing; placement expectations, including attire and professional conduct; specific training; and, information about any potential hazards or risks.
  • Provide student supervision.
  • Identify activities or work that may pose a health or safety risk. In the event that additional unforeseen risks become apparent, the organization must communicate in a timely manner all risk-related concerns to the CSU.
  • Your organization may be required by California law to obtain a student's fingerprints and submit them to the Department of Justice, and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, for a criminal background check. If required, the organization may have the responsibility to:
    • determine whether such fingerprinting is required;
    • obtain the student's fingerprints;
    • obtain criminal background clearance from the appropriate agency; and,
    • incur the cost of fingerprinting.
