LEUSD will submit all GPAs for current seniors at the beginning of the senior year in accordance with Cal-Grant requirements. All seniors will be deemed a Cal Grant applicant unless the student and their parent/guardian has opted out prior to the high school's submission of GPAs to the Commission. Students who DO NOT OPT-OUT will have their GPA submitted to the California Student Aid Commission at the beginning of their senior year to be considered for a Cal Grant award. Students who do not want Lake Elsinore Unified School District to report a GPA, please complete the Cal Grant GPA Opt-Out Form and return it to the Counseling Office of your high school by the end of the student’s junior year.
Cal-Grant GPA Opt Out Form English/Cal-Grant GPA Opt Out Form Spanish - This only prevents the district from releasing the GPA; it does not exempt a student from completing the FAFSA or CADAA
