About the San Diego Promise Program Application Process
Submitting a San Diego Promise Program 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 Program 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 San Diego Promise Program 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 Program 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 San Diego Promise Program has reached capacity for the year.

Once admitted, students must continue to meet San Diego Promise Program admission and eligibility requirements to remain eligible for benefits.
If a student becomes ineligible for their San Diego Promise Program 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.
