Four-Year Graduation Pledge

All entering freshmen who:

• Have declared a major (and concentration if applicable).
• Are willing to earn 30 semester units or more per academic year (degree applicable).

Have met all entrance requirements for the major.

NOTE:

• Majors that require more than 120 semester units will need to earn more units per year.
• Some majors may require a higher level math (i.e. Math 2210) to be completed within first academic year.

Students are required to submit an application online prior to the deadline and attend a mandatory information session.

• Students may not have more than one major declared, as having multiple majors and/or minors will increase the amount of units required and may result in not meeting the four-year graduation deadline.
• Students may not have more than one minor declared.
• Students may not have more than one concentration declared, if applicable.
• Students must COMPLETE an average of at least 15 units per semester (30 units per year) to reach the minimum of 120 semester units required for a degree in four years. Majors that require more than 120 semester units will need to earn more units per year.
• Students are required to submit an Education Plan within their first academic semester to plan and track their degree coursework and requirements.
• Students must enroll each semester during their assigned on-line registration time. Students enrolling late cannot be assured of getting courses needed.
• Maintain a 3.0 CSUSB and cumulative grade point average after each semester.
• Meet regularly with their academic advisor, follow the agreed upon Education Plan each semester.
• Impacted majors must be accepted into their major according to the department's established schedule.
• Take courses at times (day or evening) when they are offered and/or available and in correct sequence.  Note: Students who change their major or concentration or who take a leave of absence may not necessarily be able to graduate in four years. Approval from the Four-Year Graduation Pledge Coordinator is required to change majors and for reinstatement into the Four-Year Graduation Pledge after a leave of absence. If approved, a new, advisor-approved, Education Plan demonstrating four-year graduation MUST be submitted to Academic Advising.
• Demonstrate accountability by complying with all administrative and academic policies and procedures. Non-compliance will result in cancellation of the pledge agreement.
• Students MUST file their Graduation Check no later than the Fall term of their 4th and final academic year.

Students who are meeting requirements for the Graduation Pledge Program are eligible to receive the following:

• Higher registration at the top of their academic class level.
