CHAPTER 1. CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID COMMISSION
ARTICLE 2. APPLICANT QUALIFICATIONS
This database is current through 02/02/07, Register 2007, No. 5
s 30023. In Lieu Test Scores; Grace Period.

(a) All Cal Grant A and B applicants shall submit a grade point average
pursuant to section 30007, 30008 or 30026.

(1) For a Competitive Cal Grant award pursuant to Article 5
(beginning with Education Code section 69437) of the
Ortiz-Pacheco-Poochigian-Vasconcellos Cal Grant Act, a student who
does not have a grade point average pursuant to section 30007 or
30008 or whose grade point average is more than 5 years old may
submit a test score from the General Educational Development test
(GED), the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT).

(2) It is the responsibility of the applicant to have a grade point
average or test score reported.

(b) A standardized test score for each approved test shall be converted to
an equivalent grade point average by the Commission using the national
distribution of test scores as compared to the distribution of grade point
averages on a 0.00 to 4.00 scale. The grade point equivalencies shall be
calculated based upon research from the testing agency for each approved
test.

(c) The Commission may, on a case-by-case basis, accept the submission of
grade point average(s) from institutions after the established deadline
if, in the opinion of the Executive Director, circumstances beyond the
control of the applicant delayed or prevented the timely submission of the
grade point average(s) by the reporting institution(s) by the established
deadline. In such cases, any request to the Executive Director to accept
grade point average(s) after the established deadline shall be received by
the Commission no later than twenty (20) days after the established
deadline and the computed grade point average(s) shall be included with
the request.

(1) Notwithstanding the grace periods established above, for
entitlement applicants for the 2006-07 award year who submitted a
FAFSA by the March 2, 2006 deadline and for whom the Commission did
not receive a grade point average by the March 2, 2006 filing
deadline but for whom the Commission received by no later than
August 31, 2006 a request for late submission of the grade point
average, along with a certificate from the reporting institution
stating that the circumstances which prevented or delayed the timely
submission of grade point average to the Commission were beyond the
control of the applicant, the Commission shall review such requests.
The Commission may make awards to such applicants if it finds that
in each such case circumstances beyond the control of the applicants
prevented or delayed the timely submission of the grade point
average.

(d) Applicants or officials who submit a timely but incomplete or
incorrect grade point average shall have a grace period of ten (10) days
after the mailing of notice by the Commission to file a corrected or
completed grade point average. A corrected or completed submission
postmarked within the 10 day period shall be deemed to comply with this
requirement.
