The federal Military Selective Service Act (the "Act")
requires most males residing in the United States to present themselves
for registration with the Selective Service System within thirty days of
their eighteenth birthday. Most males between the ages of 18 and 25 must
be registered. Males born after December 31, 1959 may be required to submit
a statement of compliance with the Act and regulations in order to receive
any grant, loan, or work assistance under specified provisions of existing
federal law. In California, students subject to the Act who fail to register
are also ineligible to receive any need-based student grants funded by the
state or a public postsecondary institution.
Selective Service registration forms are available at any U.S. Post Office,
and many high schools have a staff member or teacher appointed as a Selective
Service Registrar. Applicants for financial aid can also request that information
provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) be used

Service System is available and the registration process may be initiated
online at http://www.sss.gov.
