Attention High School Families-AB 104

Dear High School Families,

On July 1, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 104 (AB-104) into law. AB-104 provides learning recovery options for students who struggled with low grades as a result of distance learning during the pandemic. One provision allows students enrolled in a Peak Prep course during the 2020-21 school year to select to replace a letter grade with a Pass or No Pass designation with no negative impact on their GPA. There is no limit on the number of grades earned during the 20-21 school year that can be changed to a Pass/No Pass.

Any grade from an A through a D can be changed to a “Pass.”
Students with an F grade can select a “No Pass” (and will still NOT receive the course units).

In addition to grade changes, the law requires the Cal State system to accept a grade of Pass during the 20-21 school year. However, the University of California system has been ENCOURAGED (not required) to accept a Pass on student’s transcripts for 2020-2021 school year. Private colleges/universities are not required to accept a grade of Pass in place of a letter grade.

The process of changing a grade requires that students complete the following Grade Change Application. Students should submit an individual Application for the Fall semester, Spring semester, and Summer, as applicable, and they should indicate the Grade Level they were in during the 2020-21 school year. Completed applications must be signed by a parent/guardian and should be emailed to Sabrina.Ciolino@peak-prep.org pursuant to Education Code Section 29066.5 (2)(b).

Please keep in mind that some post-secondary institutions may not accept a pass on the transcript for the 2020-2021 school year so make sure to double-check the list if you desire to go to a four-year university after H.S. Graduation. Here is a link to the CA Post Secondary Institutes that will accept a Pass on the transcript for the 2020-2021 school year: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/ps/ab104surveyresults.asp

Once we receive your application, we will make the changes within 15 days of the date received.

**The request must be completed within 15 days of the notice that was emailed to you on July 27, 2021 (the deadline is Wednesday, August 11th). Please note: We will not make any changes if requests are made after 15 days from the date of the notice.
