Maintaining Eligibility for the CCPG (Formerly the BOG Fee Waiver)*

Students who are eligible for the CA College Promise Grant (CCPG) may lose their eligibility if they fail to sustain a CGPA of 2.0 or higher and/or complete more than 50 percent of their coursework. If a student’s cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 for two consecutive primary terms (fall and/or spring), the student is placed on academic probation. If the cumulative number of units completed is not more than 50 percent in two consecutive primary terms, the student is placed on progress probation.

Academic: Maintain a CGPA of 2.0 or higher

Progress: Complete more than 50% of coursework successfully (cumulative)

Any combination of two consecutive primary terms of academic and/or progress probation may result in loss of fee waiver eligibility.

Once academic standards have been determined, the student can lose eligibility for the CCPG for all terms including Winter and/or Summer, not just primary terms (Fall and/or Spring).

*Foster youth and former foster youth are not subject to the loss of the CCPG under these regulations.
