Cal Grant GPA Verification
The Counseling Center, I would like to inform you that your student’s CAL Grant GPA will be electronically submitted during the Fall 2017 to the California Student Aid Commission, commonly known as CSAC. Your student does not have to worry about submitting a Cal Grant GPA Verification Form to the counseling center since we will electronically submit their GPAs.
Your student’s Cal Grant GPA will be matched to several data points on the FAFSA Application such as name, date of birth, school code, and address. It is very important that they way your information is listed on the FAFSA matches our school records, such as full legal name, home address etc. If it doesn’t match it is the student’s responsibility to contact CSAC to get the information fixed.
We encourage you and your student to visit the CSAC website at www.webgrants4students.org to create an account that allows you to check the status of your Cal Grant GPA submission.
The FAFSA and Cal Grant deadline is Wednesday, March 2nd. If you have any questions pertaining to Cal Grants please contact the California Student Aid Commission directly. Their number is 1-888-224-7268 and their office hours are 8:00 am to 4:45 pm.

What if I don't want my student's GPA to be sent to the California Student Aid Commission?
If you choose to not have your student's GPA sent your student will not be considered for a Cal Grant award (cal grants are free money to college that you don't have to pay back). If you don't want your student's GPA sent please fill out this "opt-out form" and turn it in to the counseling department.
