Overview

• Starting with the fall 2026 class, the program will cover 43 school districts before expanding statewide, with full participation targeted for fall 2027.
• Eligibility hinges on completing A–G coursework with at least a 2.5 GPA, triggering automatic offers to campuses that have capacity.
• CSU has begun mailing personalized notifications, with roughly 80,000 students expected to receive one of three letters outlining next steps or pathways.
• Six campuses are excluded due to capacity constraints — San Jose State, San Diego State, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Long Beach — though students can still apply through the regular process.
• Riverside County’s pilot prompted the expansion, with 17,000 offers leading to 13,200 completed files and CSU reporting a 12% enrollment increase.
