For years, California school districts have relied on CCGI for college and career readiness (CCR) support. But as the landscape of education evolves, so do the needs of students, educators, and administrators. Enter SchooLinks—a modern, comprehensive solution that not only matches CCGI’s core offerings but goes further, providing advanced tools for academic planning, work-based learning, and postsecondary success.

Our SchooLinks vs. CCGI Comparison Guide breaks down the key differences, ensuring your district has everything needed to drive better student outcomes. Here’s what sets SchooLinks apart:

🚀 1. Multi-Pathway Course Planning

While CCGI tracks A-G course completion for UC/CSU eligibility, SchooLinks takes it further with a 4-6 year course planner. This tool not only supports A-G but also CTE pathways, graduation endorsements, and district-specific requirements. Students can easily map their academic journey while districts gain visibility into graduation readiness​.

🎓 2. Comprehensive College Application Management

CCGI focuses solely on UC/CSU applications. SchooLinks expands access, integrating with the Common App, Parchment, sendEDU, and all other application types. Students can apply to any college seamlessly—eliminating barriers to opportunity​.
