Peninsula School District Participates In Washington's Guaranteed Admissions Programs

Press release from the Peninsula School District:

November 12, 2021

The Peninsula School District (PSD) announced this week that it has entered into partnership with some of Washington’s public four-year colleges and universities to meet the college and career goals of our students.

The Guaranteed Admissions Programs supports direct admissions efforts at Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, The Evergreen State College, Western Washington University and Washington State University.

All Guaranteed Admissions Programs require two criteria be met for a student to be eligible: (1) A minimum GPA or minimum GPA/class ranking; and (2) Completion of the College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADRs).

• CWU - GPA 3.0 and CADRs completion
• EWU - GPA 3.0 and CADRs completion
• Evergreen - GPA 2.5 and CADRs completion
• WSU - GPA 3.6 or ranked in top 10 percent of high school class and CADRs completion
• WWU - GPA 3.0 and CADRs completion

If a student meets the criteria or is on track to meet the criteria by high school completion, he/she/they are guaranteed admission to the institution. Students eligible for guaranteed admission must complete an admissions application and additional requirements by the institution.

“Senior year can be stressful for students, especially as they determine their next steps after high school,” Assistant Superintendent Dan Gregory said. “This is a tremendous, incredible opportunity for students to go right from our high schools into college and not worry so much about the application process.”

To learn more about participating in this program, students should contact their school counselor.
