The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) determines a student’s eligibility for financial aid to assist with a student’s attendance at a college or career school. California Education Code (CEC) § 51225.7 requires a local educational agency to confirm each 12th grade student’s completion and submission of a FAFSA or CADAA unless the student is determined to be exempt or an opt-out form is completed by a student who is a legally emancipated minor, a student who is 18 years or older, a legal guardian, or parent, or a local educational agency on a student’s behalf. This opt-out form permits a student to opt out of the completion of a FAFSA or CADAA form.
To opt a student out of the Financial Aid Application, please complete this form before graduation.
Submitting a Financial Aid Application Opt-Out Form does not prohibit a student from completing and submitting a financial aid application at any time in the future.
