Deadline for Cal Grant applicants to verify GPA extended to September 2, 2020

Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order easing certain administrative requirements for verifying Cal Grant eligibility, allowing for continued access and equity for California's students.
The executive order extends the deadline by which Cal Grant applicants must verify their Grade Point Average (GPA) to September 2, 2020. This extended deadline applies to students that submitted a financial aid application by the pertinent deadline but do not yet have a verified GPA on file. Additionally, it waives the verification of Selective Service registration for students applying for financial aid via the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 academic years. A memo from the California Student Aid Commission outlining the details can be accessed via the following link here.
