<p>I didn't request a GPA verification form --- I didn't know anything about it. I just heard about it now. . . Was my FAFSA basically useless because I didn't turn in my GPA verification form? (There's a tiny change my HS has done it for me... but I heard nothing of it, so I don't think that's a probable case). </p>
<p>Can I submit it with my updated FAFSA, or am I just doomed?</p>
<p>I see that it seems to be a Cal Grant item. It says March 2, 2012. I would imagine that is the deadline and that they don’t accept them late but hey it can’t hurt to send it in. </p>
<p>What you miss out as far as Financial Aid seems to be the Cal Grant. It shouldn’t effect other aid…</p>
<p>I bet that your hightschool sent it in automatically. My daughter’s highschool did and I didn’t even know. Check with them on Monday. I think if the school expected students to request the gpa verif, you would have heard, repeatedly, from the counseling office.</p>
<p>@kcdunlap I’ll attempt to just submit it.</p>
<p>@mum4college I’m hoping that’s the case— I’m honestly surprised that my counselor, whom I’ve met with everyday (schedule arrangements, etc.) did not even mention it once. I understand it’s ultimately my responsibility, but I was just surprised. Thanks - I will definitely check with them Monday.</p>
<p>Have you checked your CSAC account?</p>

<p>If your HS automatically sent it, it will show there. Some do, some don’t. The March 2 deadline is a very strict one, though. You will be SOL for Cal Grant if it was not sent before March 2. I have never heard of anyone having any exception made.</p>
<p>It is not always best to rely on others. The information about the necessary documents is online and it is mentioned a number of places what is needed (it’s not fine print is what I mean). I’m not trying to be condescending or anything, but I hope this is a good lesson for you to always do your own research and be clear about dates. I had to learn myself not to push until the last minute (I once submitted FAFSA on March 2). I thankfully was okay, but it was not worth the stress.</p>
<p>Well, I mean it’s also that I don’t exactly need calgrant. . . I haven’t done any scholarships, etc. I only did FAFSA for whatever reason it may be needed in future years.</p>
