| (a) Grade point average calculations shall be made
in accordance with institutional policies.
(b) A grant recipient whose GPA is below program grade
point average requirements as of the end of an academic year may appeal
his/her grade point average calculation if he/she has taken courses
previously at one or more institutions. In the case of such an appeal,
the current institution (if presented with transcripts from the previous
institutions), shall calculate an overall grade point average counting
all classes and grade points previously earned. If the resulting grade
point average exceeds the program's academic progress requirement,
an otherwise eligible student may receive an award in the following
academic year.
(c) If a grant recipient's grade point average falls
below program requirements and the student transfers to another institution,
or has transferred from another institution, the receiving institution
cannot make a subsequent award to the transfer student until the student
provides official transcripts of previous coursework to the current
institution's financial aid office and the institution re-calculates
an overall grade-point average, including hours and grade points for
courses taken at the previous and current institutions, that proves
the student's overall grade point average now meets or exceeds program
requirements.
