Academic Eligibility
Fall Season: All students are eligible at the start of the fall season. However, any
student who fails a 4th quarter course of the preceding year must be passing all
courses at the time progress reports are issued. A progress report in any course
indicating a failing grade results in the athlete being ineligible for a minimum of two
games.
Winter Season: A student, who failed a course in the first quarter, must raise that
grade to passing as of the date of the first contest. Failure to do so will result in
the athlete being ineligible for a minimum of two contests. If the student who fails
the first quarter subsequently receives a failing grade in any subject during the
second quarter will then be ineligible for the remainder of the season. A student
who fails a subject for the first time during the second quarter is ineligible for a
minimum of two contests.
Spring Season: Any student who fails a subject in the third quarter is ineligible for a
minimum of two contests.
*If a student drops a class, prior to the end of a quarter, eligibility will be
determined by the students average at that time of that marking period.
*An athlete can not drop a class to retain eligibility.
