High School Completion Status
The student must provide one of the following documents that indicate the student’s high school completion status
when the student will begin college in 2015–2016:
A copy of the student’s high school diploma.
A copy of the student’s final official high school transcript that shows the date when the diploma was awarded.
A copy of the student’s General Educational Development (GED) certificate or GED transcript.
An academic transcript that indicates the student successfully completed at least a two-year program that is
acceptable for full credit toward a bachelor’s degree.
If State law requires a homeschooled student to obtain a secondary school completion credential for homeschool
(other than a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent), a copy of that credential.
If State law does not require a homeschooled student to obtain a secondary school completion credential for
homeschool (other than a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent), a transcript or the equivalent, signed
by the student's parent or guardian, that lists the secondary school courses the student completed and documents
the successful completion of a secondary school education in a homeschool setting.
If the student is unable to obtain the documentation listed above, he or she must contact the Office of Financial Aid.
Identity and Statement of Educational Purpose
To Be Signed at the Institution
The student must appear in person at California Lutheran University to verify his or her identity by presenting a valid
government-issued photo identification (ID), such as, but not limited to, a driver’s license, other state-issued ID, or

and the name of the official at the institution authorized to collect the student’s ID.
In addition, the student must sign, in the presence of the institutional official, the following:
