	Classified or Conditional Admission Graduate students may be admitted as "Classified" or "Conditionally Classified." "Conditionally Classified" graduate students are applicants who are deficient in one or more admission requirements but are admitted to work toward graduate degrees if certain specified conditions are met within a reasonable period of time. After such conditions are satisfied, the Advancement to Candidacy process is used to change status to an unconditional "Classified" graduate student. The specific conditions to be met by a conditionally classified student are specified in the letter of acceptance.	Frank E. "Bud" Pilling Mechanical Engineering 1950 “My Cal Poly education was a major factor in my career movement.” I made a fairly substantial contribution to Cal Poly for one good reason. I believe we need to give something back to the school that helps us. I hope my gift might set an example for others to give something back to the institution that helped them become successful.
