ineligible.

To be eligible, you must be currently enrolled in a member school and
have received passing grades in a minimum of five, one credit courses,
or the equivalent in the immediately preceding grading period.
If you are 19 years of age prior to August 1, 2001, you are
ineligible.
•
When you enroll in
grade 9 for the first time, you have eight semesters of athletic
eligibility taken in order of attendance, whether you participate or
do not participate.
•
For eligibility
purposes, summer school grades may not be used to substitute for
failing grades received in the final grading period of the regular
school year or for lack of enough courses taken the preceding grading
period.
•
At the beginning of
the school year, you may enroll in and attend any member school that
accepts you, if you are entering grades 9, 10, 11, or 12.
•
Your eligibility
shall be established by one of two situations: 1) participating in a
contest (scrimmage, preview or regular season contest) prior to the
opening day of a school, or 2) attending the first day of school at
any member school.
•
Once eligibility has
been established at a member school, you will be ineligible for
athletic purposes for one year should you transfer to another school,
unless one of the exceptions to the transfer bylaw is met.
•
Always check with
your school principal or athletic administrator before you change
schools to determine whether it will affect your eligibility. |
