Admission reality
Major-level transfer admission data is published for University of California campuses. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is outside that dataset, and Cherrypicker does not substitute figures from anywhere else.
Cherrypicker does not estimate anyone’s chance of admission, and never will. Historical outcomes are context, not a prediction.
Planning reality
Counts over the courses ASSIST maps for this pathway. Every figure is a plain count with one definition — there is no score or ranking here.

Not scheduled at De Anza College this term: CHEM 1AH, CHEM 1BH, MATH 2BH, PSYC C1000, COMM 15H, MATH 1AH, MATH 1BH, MATH 1CH, CHEM 1CH, MATH 1DH, MATH 2AH, STAT C1000H, CIS 22BH, CIS 22CH, BIOL 10H. A course can still be part of the requirement and offered in a later quarter.
Enrollment availability changes frequently. Confirm status in the official FHDA registration system before enrolling.
Where this path usually starts
Ranked by how central each course is to the agreement — whether it is the only option for a requirement, how many requirements it covers, and whether it is running now. This is Cherrypicker’s ordering of published requirements, not advice about your situation, and it does not know your transcript.
Things to watch
Derived from this agreement and the current class data — not generic advice.
1 requirement has no De Anza course
ASSIST lists no De Anza College course for one requirement in this major. Those are usually completed after transfer, but confirm with a counselor.
1 course has only one open section
CIS 36B currently has a single section with seats reported at De Anza.
1 mapped course with no open seats
BIOL 6AH is full or waitlisted at De Anza right now. Check the other FHDA college below, and confirm before you plan around it.

The other FHDA college
Foothill College has its own ASSIST agreement for this major. It is a separate agreement with its own courses and its own source — not an extension of the De Anza College one, and the two are never combined on this page.
Whether a course taken at one college satisfies the other college’s requirements is a separate question from articulation. Confirm with a counselor before relying on it.

Common questions
Which De Anza College classes count toward Cal Poly San Luis Obispo SOFTWARE ENGINEERING?
ASSIST's 2026-27 agreement maps 20 Cal Poly San Luis Obispo requirements to De Anza College coursework. The full list, including every alternative, is in the major preparation section above.
Does this page guarantee my courses will transfer?
No. It shows what the published ASSIST agreement between De Anza College and California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo says for 2026-27. Agreements change by catalog year, and your own record can differ. Confirm with a counselor and with the official agreement before you rely on it.
Can I take these courses at Foothill instead?
Sometimes — but it is a separate question with a separate answer. The other college has its own ASSIST agreement for this major, with its own courses and its own source, linked in the section above. Cherrypicker never merges the two.
How current is the class availability on this page?
Section and seat information reflects the district's published Winter 2027 class data, refreshed roughly every 15 minutes, and the page carries the exact time it was last updated. Always confirm in the official registration system before enrolling.
Why do some Cal Poly San Luis Obispo requirements show no De Anza course?
ASSIST lists no articulated De Anza College course for 1 requirement in this major. That usually means the requirement is completed after transfer. It is shown rather than hidden so the picture is complete.
Spot something wrong?
Articulation, prerequisites, course details and class availability all come from sources that change. If something here does not match the official record, tell us and we will fix it — corrections from students and staff are the fastest way this stays accurate.
Make this path yours
Cherrypicker can apply your completed coursework, transfer target and schedule preferences to build a quarter-by-quarter plan around these requirements.
