Compact for Success
Program Overview
The Compact for Success, established in 2000 is an agreement between SDSU and the Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) that guarantees admission to SUHSD students (up to the class of 2024), who meet the Compact for Success admissions requirements. The Compact for Success department collaborates with school and district personnel to provide outreach and education to students and parents in the district through mentoring, workshops, assemblies, and campus visits. Our department employs work-study students (College Outreach Assistants) who serve as mentors and role models to middle and high school students in the SUHSD.
Program Requirements
The strength of the Compact for Success Program lies in rigorous college prep courses (A-G curriculum) available to all students. After completing all Compact requirements, students have the opportunity of guaranteed admission to SDSU.
The Compact guarantee of admission is only for students entering SDSU as first-time freshman. The guarantee does not apply to transfer students.
