Is your Palomar Promise application on hold due to the first-time college student requirement? If so, please read the information below. 

To be eligible for the Palomar Promise program, students must be a first-time college student. Students who have taken college courses or earned college units are not eligible to participate in the Palomar Promise program.

What if I earned college units while in high school?

If your Promise application is ON HOLD due to not meeting the first-time college student requirement, and the college units were earned while you were enrolled  in high school as part of dual enrollment/concurrent enrollment, please complete the K12 Special Admission Approval Form and the Health Consent form, and submit it to the Admissions Office in person or via email at admissions@palomar.edu. For more information about K12 Special Admissions, please click here.  If you have questions, please contact the Admissions Office at 760-744-1150, ext. 2164.

If you graduated early from high school (i.e. December 2023/ January 2024), and you are enrolled in spring 2024 classes, please contact the Promise Office via email at promise@palomar.edu and provide a copy of your unofficial transcript or High School diploma to include your graduate date for verification..
