• GRADING

    AB 104 permits parents of students who were in high school in 2020-21 (or the student, if they have turned 18) to request letter grades for last year be changed to Pass/No Pass on transcripts. The new law requires CSU, and encourages UC and private postsecondary institutions, to accept those grade designations without prejudice.

    1. The student must print, fill out, sign, and date the Grade Change Application Form. 
    2. Return the Grade Change Application Form to The Fowler Unified School District Office at 658 Adams Avenue, Fowler 93625.
    3. The Grade Change Application Form must be submitted no latter than August 13, 2021. No applications will be accepted after August 13, 2021.
    4. Fowler Unified School District will update the transcript and will notify the student and parent within 15 calendar days.
