<p>I'm going to a california community college, I've submitted the FAFSA already, and I want to apply for CalGrant. For this my college needs to submit the Verified GPA as well. I read in a couple places that community colleges automatically do it, but when checking my application status, it says that they haven't received the GPA yet. Do I need to ask a counselor to submit the Verified GPA or will they automatically do it before March 2? I don't recall putting my community college in the FAFSA, just the colleges I may transfer to, so how will my community college know to send in the Verified GPA? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I have searched for a while and I'm not sure whether or not I need to and how to send in my Verified GPA. </p>
<p>As far as I know, you had to provide it whilst you were in HS, thereafter your school financial aid office will monitor it and do whatever needs to be done</p>
<p>Check with your community college to verify that they routinely send the GPA verifications to CalGrant. If they do, don't worry that the online status at CalGrant doesn't show that it's been received. They're often weeks behind updating the status.</p>
<p>If you're not sure whether your College did it, I'd do it myself. Download the form from the CalGrant website, have your College fill out the GPA verification part, and send it in.</p>
<p>Ack-- I think Somemom is right. I was thinking of the initial CalGrant when a student is a senior in HS. Your College should have taken care of it. The CalGrant website is often delinquent in updating. There's a phone number somewhere on the CalGrant site, you can call after a while and verify that it's taken care of.</p>
