"The California State University system launched a direct admissions pilot last year, offering qualifying high school seniors at school districts in Riverside County admission to 10 of its institutions. The program turned out to be an unqualified success: The number of graduates from the district who enrolled at a CSU campus this fall jumped 9 percent."
"Now the system is expanding the program, thanks to legislation signed last month that will allow CSU to extend offers to students in every school district in the state starting in the 2026-27 admission cycle. The offers will grant admission to 16 of the 22 CSU campuses; the six most selective institutions will not participate. The program ties in with the system's goal of creating access to higher education for all Californians, said April Grommo, CSU's assistant vice chancellor of strategic enrollment management."
A direct admissions pilot in Riverside County offered qualifying high school seniors admission to 10 CSU campuses and produced a 9 percent increase in district graduates enrolling at CSU. Legislation now permits CSU to extend direct admission offers to students in every California school district beginning in the 2026-27 admission cycle. The offers will apply to 16 of the 22 CSU campuses, excluding the six most selective institutions. The program aligns with CSU goals to increase higher education access by proactively informing students and families of eligibility they may not have recognized.
