Section 612:10-7-150 - Continued eligibility for college or university training(a)Requirements for continued eligibility. DVR or DSBVI clients in college or university training will be expected to attend classes regularly and make continuous progress toward graduation.(b)To continue assistance with college or university training, the client must maintain a cumulative 2.0 grade-point average (GPA), based on a four point (4.0) scale.(c)The client must maintain at a minimum the cumulative GPA required by the Institution for the client's major field of study. If the client is unable to consistently maintain the minimum cumulative GPA for their chosen field of study, the Counselor will reassess the justification for continued training and whether a change in vocational goal is necessary.(d)The client must carry the minimum number of semester hours determined to be full time at the school attended. Exceptions may be granted by the counselor, based on severity of disability, scheduling problems, or other valid reasons.(e)When a client fails to meet the requirements for continued sponsorship the guidelines in (1) - (5) of this Subsection are to be followed:(1) Payment of training services based on client's financial status will not be provided if the client's grades fall below 1.5 cumulative GPA.(2) Training services may be paid for a client having a cumulative GPA between 1.5 and 1.9 for the first semester that grades fall below 2.0 cumulative GPA. Subsequent enrollments can only be paid if the student's cumulative GPA shows progress.(3) A client failing to meet the grade point requirement may continue to receive services not based on financial status. (4) A client failing to meet grade point requirements may be approved by the counselor if there are extenuating circumstances beyond the client's control.(5) A client failing to meet grade point requirements will be contacted as soon as appropriate to complete a program review to determine if a change in services, vocational goal, or objectives is needed. A client failing to meet chosen goals will not have his/her case closed until the counselor has provided counseling and guidance and determined that a change in the IPE is inappropriate. The counselor should investigate the need for further vocational and/or educational evaluation to explore alternative employment goals.(f)Withdrawals and failures. Clients who withdraw or fail courses paid by DVR and DSBVI will be required to pay for a like number of hours during the following enrollment period subject to the guidelines in (a) of this Section.(g)Changes in training program. Client will be required to sponsor a like amount when there is a change in the planned training, and coursework previously sponsored by DRS cannot be applied to the new training program. This will not be applied when the change is required due to the disability.Okla. Admin. Code § 612:10-7-150
