Loss of Athletics Eligibility

We adhere to internal and external standards to determine eligibility for every student-athlete. You will lose eligibility if you:

Do not register for and maintain a minimum of 12 hours of course work in the current semester
Do not pay the required student activity fee
Do not maintain the minimum standards of academic progress as noted below

Key USCAA Standards:

In the event that a student seeks eligibility to participate on an intercollegiate athletic team, conference rules, if more stringent, will take precedence over College regulations.

24.5.4 Requirements for Students Entering Second Semester
Second semester students must have achieved a GPA of 1.6.

24.5.5 Requirements after the First Two Semesters
All students must pass 24 credit hours the previous academic school year. If there is a break in attendance the student athlete must pass 24 credit hours the two preceding terms of attendance.

Exception: If a freshman completes his/her first semester at an institution and leaves the following semester, upon the student’s return he/she may reestablish his/her eligibility by completing the necessary credits to reach 12 during a summer or interim period only.

24.5.6 GPA Requirements after the First Two Semesters
After accumulating 24-48 credit hours, the student must have achieved a 1.75 cumulative GPA. After accumulating more than 48 credit hours, the student must have achieved a 2.0 GPA.

24.7 Transfer Requirements

24.7.1 Transfer-Students Who Have Participated in Athletics

If a student transferring to a member institution has ever participated in intercollegiate athletics, the student must have been academically and athletically eligible had he or she remained at that institution.
If the transferring student is ineligible, he/she is required to complete one full academic year of residence at the certifying institution before being eligible to compete for the member institution.

- An academic year shall be completed when the student is enrolled in and completed a minimum full-time program of studies for two full semesters or three full quarters.
