The San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS) has partnered with California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB) to offer guaranteed admission for high school students in San Bernardino County who meet specific criteria.
All San Bernardino County districts are eligible for direct admission with CSUSB.
If you are interested in getting an MOU in place, please reach out to our office. If your district is currently partnered and needs assistance with data uploading for CSUSB direct admissions, our office can support that as well.
