GRADING
AB 104 permits parents of students who were in high school in 2020-21 (or the student, if they have turned 18) to request letter grades for last year be changed to Pass/No Pass on transcripts. The new law requires CSU, and encourages UC and private postsecondary institutions, to accept those grade designations without prejudice. The list of California Colleges that will accept Pass/No Pass grades in lieu of letter grades can be found HERE. Keep in mind that colleges in other states, or colleges not on this list, may not accept Pass/No Pass Grades. Consult directly with those colleges for more information.
Part of that legislation allowed for high school families to request, within a 15 day window, for any grade in the 2020-21 school year to be converted from a letter grade to a “Pass/No Pass” grade.
Please note: the deadline to submit a grade change request form is November 19, 2021.

GRADUATION POLICIES
AB 104 exempts 2020-21 juniors and seniors from high school graduation requirements beyond statewide requirements if they are not on track to graduate in four years and requires school districts to provide opportunities for juniors and seniors to meet statewide graduation requirements through, among other avenues, a fifth year of high school.
Please contact your school site with any additional questions you may have.
