CA AB2248

Student Aid Commission must notify Cal Grant award recipients in writing upon initial award and renewal that Cal Grant awards are limited to 4 academic years and that students need to take 15 semester units per semester (or 30 per academic year) to graduate within 4 years

Qualifying institutions must notify new students in writing during orientation about the 4-year award limit and 15-unit semester requirement

Qualifying institutions must notify students receiving state financial aid in writing about these provisions upon annual registration

Qualifying institutions must provide this information to students registering online for fewer than 15 semester units, with a checkbox for students to acknowledge receipt

If the Commission on State Mandates determines this bill creates state-mandated costs, reimbursement shall be made pursuant to existing statutory procedures
