How do I ensure my student's data is shared with CCGI to allow for high school and college course planning as well as provide the benefits of transferring data to UC, CSU, and Community College applications?

In order for student transcript data to be uploaded, you need to allow access through the Aeries Data Confirmation process.  Please follow the instructions on this page.  On the authorizations section, be sure to select ALLOW for "Release of Records to California College Guidance Initiative (CCGI)".
