Students will the select their preferred campus and receive acceptance letters from each of those schools.

“We are excited to provide a direct pathway to higher education for thousands of high school students across Riverside County,” said April Grommo, CSU assistant vice chancellor of Strategic Enrollment Management, in the statement. “Riverside County is an excellent location for this program, because it’s ethnically and economically representative of the diversity of California.”
