The Compact Advisor Program has been in place in the Sweetwater Union High School District since 2002. Currently there is a Compact Advisor who is a SDSU student in each of the middle schools who is highly knowledgeable of the Compact for Success’ expectations as well as what it takes to succeed at San Diego State University (SDSU).During the 2007/2008 academic year the Compact Advisors made a total of 5,322 student contacts at the middle schools. 

Compact Advisors meet with students on a one to one individual basis, or in small groups throughout the school day.  They provide information to students regarding Compact for Success benchmarks, “a-g” high school requirements, community college, CSU/UC, and private postsecondary entrance requirements, financial aid, scholarships, SAT/ACT, ELM/EPT and other information that will help them accomplish their goal of higher education.  Through their contacts with students, Advisor’s refer students to tutoring programs and other after-school academic support activities.  The Compact Advisors serve as peer advisors to keep students motivated to stay focused on their new goal, of an attainable, affordable and successful future as a college student. 

The Compact Advisors also play a crucial role in other Compact for Success Signature Activities, such as the Compact for Success 7^th Grade Campus Visit to SDSU and the middle schools’ annual College: Making it Happen Nights.
