Guaranteed Admission College Programs
The Guaranteed Admissions College Programs let students learn if they will be admitted to partner institutions before they even apply. Through data-sharing partnerships with our school district, the participating institutions provide information to potentially eligible students on the process for accessing guaranteed admission.
