(a) General.

(1) "College grade point average" and "community college grade
point average" mean a grade point average calculated on the basis of
all college work completed, except for nontransferable units and
courses not counted in the computation for admission to a California
public institution of higher education that grants a baccalaureate
degree. A college grade point average or a community college grade
point average must be computed for a minimum of 24 semester units or
its equivalent regardless of the grade received.

(2) "All college work completed" includes all coursework for which
grades are known to the official reporting the grade point average
and accepted for credit at the school reporting the grade point
average regardless of the grade received.

(3) It is the responsibility of the student applicant to have his
or her college or community college report a grade point average.

(b) College Grade Point Average.

(1) For purposes of computing a college grade point average by an
institution that grants a baccalaureate degree, "nontransferable
units" and "courses not counted in the computation for admission to
a California public institution of higher education that grants a
baccalaureate degree" are those courses which do not earn credit for
a baccalaureate degree from the reporting institution.

(2) For purposes of computing a college grade point average by a
postsecondary institution that grants an associate degree,
"nontransferable units" and "courses not counted in the computation
for admission to a California public institution of higher education
that grants a baccalaureate degree" are those courses which do not
earn credit for an associate degree at the reporting institution.

(3) For purposes of computing a college grade point average by a
postsecondary institution that does not grant a baccalaureate or an
associate degree:

(A) "nontransferable units" are those units which are not used in
satisfying requirements for earning a baccalaureate degree from a
California public institution of higher education that grants such a
degree.

(B) "courses not counted in the computation for admission to a
California public institution of higher education that grants a
baccalaureate degree" are any courses for which the earned grade is
not used in the computation of a grade point average in determining
admission eligibility, whether or not units earned for the course
are transferable to such an institution.

(c) Community College Grade Point Average.

For purposes of computing a community college grade point average for a
Cal Grant Award pursuant to the Ortiz-Pacheco-Poochigian-Vasconcellos Cal
Grant Act, "nontransferable units" and "courses not counted in the
computation for admission to a California public institution of higher
education that grants a baccalaureate degree" mean all courses except
"Associate Degree Credit Courses" as defined by Title 5, Chapter 6,
Article 1, Section 55002(a) of the California Code of Regulations.

(d) Certification.

Every college grade point average and community college grade point
average reported to the Commission shall include a certification under
penalty of perjury to the best of his or her knowledge from the school
official filing the report that the grade point average is accurately
reported. The certification shall include a statement that it is subject
to review by the Commission or its designee.
