Public Records Request

The Civil Rights & Compliance Office (CRCO) oversees Public Records Act (PRA) request processing to ensure that Cal Poly is in compliance with laws, regulations and meets required timelines for response. The California Public Records Act can be found at Gov. Code Section 6250 et seq. It mandates all non-exempt documents in Cal Poly’s possession be available for public inspection.

Requests can be made to any campus employee by the public. When a University department, office or employee receives a Public Records Act request, they should:

  • Immediately forward the request in its entirety to pra@calpoly.edu and/or call CRCO at 805-756-6770 for assistance.

Requests for public records may be made verbally or in writing. For purposes of clarity, the CSU encourages written requests. Certain records are exempt from public disclosure. CRCO staff can assist with identifying public records once gathered by the responsive department.

Contact 805-756-6770 or email pra@calpoly.edu if you have any questions.
