Admission requirements for graduate-level teacher and educa- tional leader programs. Each institution registered by the department with graduate-level teacher and leader education programs shall adopt rigorous selection criteria geared to predicting a candidate's academic success in its program, including but not limited to, [a minimum score on the graduate record examination or a substantially equivalent admis- sion examination, as determined by the institution, and] achievement of a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher in the candidate's undergraduate program; provided, however, such graduate record examina- tion or substantially equivalent admission examination requirement shall in no case apply to certified teachers or school administrators who already hold a graduate degree. Each program may exempt no more than fifteen percent of any incoming class of students from such selection criteria set forth in this section based on a student's demonstration of potential to positively contribute to the teaching profession or other extenuating circumstances pursuant to the regulations of the commission- er.
