This page was last updated on 9/1/2026
ALL CVHS Students should initiate their Cal State Application through CCGI: California Colleges Guidance Initiative (MUST sign in with GUSD Google account to link courses and grades from CaliforniaColleges.edu to CSU application)
IMPORTANT: Uploading grades with CCGI does NOT replace the need to review all course records for accuracy prior to application submission.
Students MUST report all courses taken at any high school or college. Missing/Inaccurate information may be viewed as falsification and result in cancellation of the application or rescission of the admission offer.
