Are you enrolling at a California Community College? You could be eligible for a new dual admission program that gives you the chance to pursue your bachelor’s degree at Stanislaus State.

What is TSP?

Transfer Success Pathway (TSP) is a program that provides a dual admission opportunity for eligible first-time, first-year students enrolling in California Community Colleges who commit to transferring to a CSU within three years.

The program is designed to increase access to the CSU for students who have faced academic, financial, or personal hardships that previously prevented them from attending. All freshmen who opted not to enroll at a CSU campus can apply to Transfer Success Pathway.

TSP Academic Programs

TSP applicants can choose from over 40+ selected majors at Stanislaus State. The following majors are not eligible: Liberal Studies, Health Science, and Nursing.

Benefits of TSP

Eligible students can apply to the program in order to:

• Enter into an agreement with Stanislaus State and receive guaranteed admission to the degree program and campus of your choice (if all requirements are met).
• Receive personalized guidance from Stanislaus State representatives to create an educational plan that will help you transfer within two to three years.
• Map out your coursework using the CSU Transfer Planner portal to ensure you're on track for your degree. 

Program Application

Starting with the California high school class of 2023 and beyond, eligible community college students can apply to the program.

You are eligible for the TSP program if you are enrolling in a California Community College and have not earned any college credit since completing high school or earning a GED.

• If you are taking college courses in the summer immediately following your high school graduation, you’re still eligible for TSP.
• If you have taken dual enrollment coursework while in high school, you’re still eligible for TSP.

For Fall 2025, the Stanislaus State Transfer Success Pathways application window is August 1 - November 30, 2025. To join the program, students will submit their application through the CSU Transfer Planner portal.
