Summary
Existing law, the Ortiz-Pacheco-Poochigian-Vasconcellos Cal Grant Program (Cal Grant Program) , establishes the Cal Grant A and B Entitlement Awards, the California Community College Expanded Entitlement Awards, the California Community College Transfer Entitlement Awards, the Competitive Cal Grant A and B Awards, and the Cal Grant T Awards under the administration of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility requirements and maximum levels for awards under these programs for participating students attending qualifying institutions, as defined. Existing law prohibits the aggregate amount students may receive in a 4-year period under the Cal Grant Program from being increased as a result of accelerating progress to a degree by attending summer terms, sessions, or quarters. This bill would delete the provision that prohibits increasing the aggregate amount students may receive under the Cal Grant Program as a result of accelerating progress to a degree by attending summer terms, sessions, or quarters. The bill would require that a student that accelerates colleges attendance and receives an award for coursework taken during a summer term, session, or quarter be enrolled in 30 or more semester units, or the equivalent, in that academic year. The bill would specify, that for purposes of meeting the 30 or more semester units or the equivalent requirement, units taken during a summer term, session, or quarter may be included.
