SECTION 22.10. Grade Point Average Calculations for Satisfactory Academic Progress

(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.
