About the San Diego Promise Application Process
Submitting a Promise application is the first step in showing your interest. Students are admitted once all eligibility and admissions requirements are completed.
Applying to San Diego Promise does not guarantee admission, and applicants will be admitted in the order that eligibility and admissions requirements are met, not in the order applications were received.
The Promise application will remain open until the program reaches full capacity for the admitting term.
For the most up-to-date status, students should check both the San Diego Promise website and their application portal to see whether the program is still accepting or admitting students.
If the program fills before all of your requirements are completed, you will be notified through your student.sdccd.edu email that the Promise has reached capacity for the year.

Once admitted, students must continue to meet San Diego Promise admission and semester requirements to remain eligible for benefits.
If a student becomes ineligible for their Promise Track or no longer meets admission requirements, they may be removed from the program and become responsible for fees or awards that the Promise previously covered.
Readmission is not guaranteed and depends on available program funding.
All notifications will be sent to your student.sdccd.edu email.
