| (a) The overall grade point average (GPA) of each incoming
class admitted between September 1 and August 31 of each year by an
educator preparation program (EPP), including an alternative certification
program, may not be less than 3.00 on a four-point scale or the equivalent.
In computing the overall GPA of an incoming class, an EPP may include:
(1) the GPA of each person in the incoming class based
on all coursework previously attempted by the person at an accredited
institution of higher education (IHE):
(A) at which the applicant is currently enrolled (undergraduate
university program formal admission, alternative certification program
contingency admission, or post-baccalaureate program contingency admission);
or
(B) from which the most recent bachelor's degree or
higher from an accredited IHE was conferred (alternative certification
program formal admission or post-baccalaureate program formal admission);
or
(2) the GPA of each person in the incoming class based
only on the last 60 semester credit hours of all coursework attempted
by the person at an accredited IHE:
(A) at which the applicant is currently enrolled (undergraduate
university program formal admission, alternative certification program
contingency admission, or post-baccalaureate program contingency admission).
If an applicant has less than 60 semester credit hours on the official
transcript from the accredited IHE at which the applicant is currently
enrolled, the EPP may use grades from all coursework previously attempted
by a person at the most recent accredited IHE(s), starting with the
most recent coursework from the official transcript(s), to calculate
a GPA for the last 60 semester credit hours; or
(B) from which the most recent bachelor's degree or
higher from an accredited IHE was conferred. If an applicant has hours
beyond the most recent degree, an EPP may use grades from the most
recent 60 hours of coursework from an accredited IHE (alternative
certification program formal admission or post-baccalaureate program
formal admission).
(b) A person seeking career and technical education
certification is not included in determining the overall GPA of an
incoming class.
