Grade Change Application School Year 2020–2021 July 30, 2021 Dear Willits Unified High School Parents/Guardians and Students: This summer the state legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 104 which allows parents/guardians of high school students to change any letter grade from the 2020-2021 school year to a Pass or No Pass grade, as long as it does not negatively affect a student’s Grade Point Average (GPA). It is important to carefully consider this option as it may negatively impact admission to certain colleges and universities. With that in mind, if you are considering a grade change, please carefully review the list below of colleges/universities that will accept the Pass/No Pass grades. Please use the “Grade Change Application Form” below to request a grade change. The form is available electronically or a paper copy may be obtained at your student’s school office. Grade Change Application Form- https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/ps/documents/gradechange20form.pdf Important: The form must be submitted to your student’s school office no later than Monday, August 16, 2021. We are not allowed to accept late applications as per AB 104. The grade change will be made within 15 calendar days of the submission of the form. If you have any questions, please contact your student’s school. For the 2020–21 through 2023–24 school year, the following postsecondary institutions will accept, for admission purposes, a transcript with a Pass or No Pass grade instead of a letter grade for an applicant pursuant to Education Code Section 49066.5(b). Official Postsecondary Institutions: California State University, Bakersfield California State University Channel Islands California State University, Chico California State University, Dominguez Hills California State University, East Bay California State University, Fresno California State University, Fullerton Humboldt State University California State University, Long Beach California State University, Los Angeles California State University Maritime Academy California State University, Monterey Bay California State University, Northridge California State Polytechnic University, Pomona California State University, Sacramento California State University, San Bernardino San Diego State University San Francisco State University San José State University California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo California State University San Marcos Sonoma State University California State University, Stanislaus Saint Mary's College of California Holy Names University Pitzer College University of La Verne Westmont College Santa Clara University University of Saint Katherine University of Southern California ArtCenter College of Design California Baptist University University of San Francisco La Sierra University University of California Mount Saint Mary's University
