Tools for School Districts
What is CaliforniaColleges.edu?
CaliforniaColleges.edu is a one-stop shop for the resources students need to discover their goals for life after high school, make plans to achieve them, and launch their futures. The platform can help school districts improve postsecondary outcomes for students by:
- Making higher education more equitable and accessible for all students.
- Provides educators with college and career information needed to provide support for students along the way.
- Improving “a-g” completion rates.
- Making compliance for Universal FAFSA requirement (AB 469) easier through intuitive reporting tools.
Free College & Career Planning Tools for California School Districts
As California’s official college and career planning platform, as well as the foundation of the state’s new Cradle-to-Career (C2C) Data System tools, CaliforniaColleges.edu is free to all school districts in California.
Tools for Students
Students will gain access to college and career planning tools, including the ability to launch and track their applications to California Community Colleges, California State Universities, and Universities of California, Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and/or the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) directly from the platform.
Tools for Educators
Educators will gain access to easy-to-navigate lesson plans that streamline college and financial aid application processes; reporting tools that will allow them to monitor student progress and comply with state education requirements; and remotely accessible college and career planning tools that can be used within small or large group classroom settings, for distance learning, or independently by students wherever they have access to the Internet.
Tools for School Districts
Districts will gain additional means through which they can provide equitable opportunities to help all students develop the knowledge and aspirations needed to pursue education or training after high school.
Reporting and State Compliance
Reporting tools enable district administrators to track progress on key college, career, and financial aid planning and application metrics.
