ELPAC reading practice questions for grades 11–12

The counseling office will hold Financial Aid Night on February 5, from six to eight o'clock in the cafeteria. Two advisers from the community college will help families start the federal aid application in person. Bring last year's tax return and, if you have one, a photo identification card. You do not need a Social Security number to attend, and staff can explain which state application to use instead.

Seniors who want the state grant must also have a verified grade point average submitted by March 2. The front office submits these automatically for any senior who files the federal application before February 20. A student who files after that date must request the submission in writing at the front office.

In California you may pre-register to vote at sixteen. Pre-registration is not a vote. It holds your information until your eighteenth birthday, when the registration becomes active and a ballot is mailed to the address on file.

To pre-register you need a California driver's license or state identification number, or the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you have neither, you may still submit the form and confirm your identity later.

Your registration follows the address you give, not the school you attend. Students who move away for college should update the address, because a ballot mailed to an old address will not be forwarded.

Automatic enrollment from a class waitlist ends the day before the semester begins. After that, a student on the waitlist is not moved into the class, even if a seat opens. To add a class once the semester has started, attend the first class meeting and ask the instructor for an add code. Instructors give codes only to students who attend, and only when a seat is available.

An add code must be entered in the online registration system by the end of the second week of the semester. Codes expire after that point, even if they were never used. Fees for an added class are due within five days of enrolling, or the student is dropped from the class. High school students taking college classes must also upload an approval form signed by their high school counselor before an add code will be accepted.
