Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, a high school or academy charter school diploma from the Guam Department of Education requires the parent or legal guardian, or a student who is at least eighteen, to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The Guam Department of Education or the academy charter school may not require or retain any copy of the application or the confidential information disclosed on it.

It must also ensure that none of the confidential information shared by the parent or legal guardian is retained in its student records. A person who assists with completing the application and discloses confidential information to anyone other than the student and the student's parent or legal guardian commits a misdemeanor. A student who otherwise qualifies for a diploma and opts out through a declaration signed under penalty of perjury still receives the diploma. Section 3223 was added by Public Law 37-093 on .
