California Code, Education Code - EDC § 69437.6

(1) Demonstrate attainment of a community college or college grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

(2) Reestablish the student's grade point average by completing at least 16 cumulative units of credit for academic coursework at an accredited California community college, as defined by the commission, by regulation, with at least a 2.0 community college grade point average.

(f)(1) An individual selected for a competitive Cal Grant A award who enrolls in a California community college may elect to have the award held in reserve for a period not to exceed two academic years, except that the commission may extend the period in which the individual's award may be held in reserve for up to three academic years if, in the commission's judgment, the rate of academic progress has been as rapid as could be expected for the personal and financial conditions that the student has encountered.  The commission shall, in this case, hold the award in reserve for the additional year.  Upon receipt of a request to transfer the award to a tuition or fee-charging qualifying institution, the individual shall be eligible to receive the Cal Grant A award previously held in reserve if, at the time of the request, the individual meets all of the requirements of this article.  Upon receipt of the request, the commission shall reassess the financial need of the award recipient.  The commission may prescribe the forms and procedures to be used for the purposes of this section.  A recipient's years of eligibility for payment of benefits shall be based upon the recipient's grade level at the time the award is transferred to the tuition or fee-charging qualifying institution.  Any award so held in reserve shall only be counted once toward the 13,000 awards authorized by this article.
