Qualifying Snohomish School District seniors will receive guaranteed admission to five Washington colleges and universities through the Washington Guaranteed Admissions Program (GAP). Snohomish School District is one of 63 districts participating in the GAP this school year. Participating colleges and universities are:

• Central Washington University (www.cwu.edu)
• Eastern Washington University (www.ewu.edu)
• The Evergreen State College (www.evergreen.edu)
• Washington State University (https://wsu.edu/)
• Western Washington University (www.wwu.edu)

To be eligible for guaranteed admission to the five participating institutions, students must have or be on track to:

• Earn by graduation a 3.0 GPA, and
• Complete the college academic distribution requirement (CADR) coursework, and
• Release their contact information to higher education institutions. To release your student’s information for purposes of higher education usage, the parent/guardian should let us know their intent by completing a Higher Education Verification Form in Skyward/Family Access. This step should only take a minute and must be completed by Friday, November 18. Parents/guardians who do not complete the form will be opted in to the release of information to higher education. Click here for a one-page sheet on how to complete this process.

College admissions staff will reach out to qualifying students by email beginning in December. Students must complete the application process and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA).
