Guaranteed College Admissions Partnerships

The Auburn School District partners closely with private and public four-year colleges and universities in our state in support of smooth transitions to post-secondary learning. 

These partnerships provide eligible seniors with guaranteed college admissions. The intent is to eliminate barriers within the traditional college application/acceptance process and ultimately increase credential completion in our state. 

Partner institutions currently include:

• University of Washington - Tacoma (UWT)

• Washington State University (WSU)

• Western Washington University (WWU)

• Central Washington University (CWU)

• Eastern Washington University (EWU)

• The Evergreen State College (ESC)

• Pacific Lutheran University (PLU)

To be eligible for Guaranteed Admission to UWT, students must:

• Have a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher  

• Complete the College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADRs) 

To be eligible for Guaranteed Admission to WSU, WWU, CWU, EWU, and ESC, students must:

• Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher

• Complete the College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADRs)

To be eligible for Guaranteed Admission to  PLU, students must:

• Have a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher

Please note:

• Eligible students will receive email notification directly from the college or university offering guaranteed admission. 

• Students and their families are still responsible for tuition and other related costs, and may need to complete the Common Application to secure admission dependent upon College or University requirements.

• Not all high school courses meet the CADRs; schedule an appointment with your counselor to check on your CADRs status.

• If you need assistance understanding information you have received about college applications or financial aid, please check in at your schools' career and college center. They are eager and happy to help!
