The Washington Guaranteed Admissions Program (WAGAP)

The Washington Guaranteed Admissions Program (WAGAP) lets you learn if you’ll be admitted to Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, The Evergreen State College, University of Washington Tacoma, Washington State University or Western Washington University before you even apply! The universities partner with Kamiak High School to make sure the following criteria are met:

• You have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher
• You have completed or are on track to complete all the College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADRs) by the time you graduate from high school.
• Your school has an agreement with the participating universities and college to be part of the program

If all of these are true, we can guarantee you will be admitted to all six participating Washington four-year, public institutions.

What are the CADRs?

Washington’s College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADRs) include:

• 4 years of English
• 3 years of Math (must include Algebra 2)
• 3 years of Science (1 Algebra-based Science--Chemistry or Physics required)
• 3 years of Social Studies
• 2 years of a World Language (Level 2 required. e.g. Spanish 2) *This requirement can be met with the World Language Proficiency Exam (WLPE) for native language speakers
• 1 year of Fine Arts
• 1 quantitative senior course that is math based (e.g. 1 credit of math equal to or beyond one of the 3 required math credits, Bridge to College Math, AP Computer Science, or an algebra-based science) *This requirement is met if a student completes Pre-Calculus and beyond in any grade.

I Was Admitted Through (WAGAP). What Happens Next ?

You have three key steps to take to make sure everything is set:

1. Fill out the Common Application (Common App). Colleges and universities are required to collect some additional information, and we want to make sure you are considered for eligible scholarships.
2. Send your unofficial transcript to make sure all your high school classes are complete or in-progress.
   • You can upload your transcript in the Common App or send your transcript via Parchment.com
3. Complete the FAFSA or WASFA by Feb. 1.
   • A FAFSA or WASFA (for students not eligible to complete a FAFSA) are required to help you qualify for most federal and state financial aid. Every bit counts and can help pay for your education!

Once you complete the Common App and send your unofficial transcript, you’ll receive a formal admission packet in the mail. The packet will describe what happens next. Please contact institutions if you have questions.
Welcome to Washington’s public, four-year institutions!

Here is a sample email you can expect to receive from WAGAP when your student is eligible for the WAGAP program.
