Important things you need to know about the RGSI application
-
- Applying to be a Registered Graduate Student Intern (RGSI) does not include membership. Membership is different from registration. For more information on how to become a CCAPP member, please click here.
- California regulations say that registrants must get certified within five years of their registration date.
Application Processing Times
Application processing can take up to 30 days. You must complete and submit all steps in the application correctly. An application is complete when every step has a green bubble. A green bubble with a white checkmark means that CCAPP staff have checked and approved that step.
If a step is rejected, it will show a red bubble, and you need to fix it. The processing time will be delayed and will not continue until you correct the rejected step and resubmit all the steps that were rejected.
