Athletics Eligibility Requirements

Eligibility Standards

• GPA Requirement: Minimum 2.0 GPA
• Course Load: Enrolled in at least 6 classes
• Graduation Track: On pace to graduate with sufficient credits
• Grade Basis: Fall/Winter sports eligibility determined by previous semester grades

Grade Monitoring

Grade checks occur every 4–6 weeks during the sport season. Student-athletes must maintain eligibility at each check or face probation/suspension.

Ineligibility Consequences

Ineligible athletes may practice but cannot play in games until eligible again

• Group A (Previous Semester): Ineligible until regaining eligibility at next grade check
• Group B (Previous Semester): Ineligible for 5 weeks; regains eligibility at 5-week grade check (limited to once per sport season)

Important Notes

• Athletics is a voluntary program—participation is a privilege that can be revoked for non-compliance
• Transfer students from private schools and 5th-year students require an eligibility hearing before competing
• All SPS academic eligibility rules apply to transfers

How to Calculate Your GPA

Add the grade point values for each class, then divide by total number of classes.

Example:
A− (3.7) + A (4.0) + A (4.0) + B+ (3.3) + B (3.0) + A− (3.7) = 21.7 ÷ 6 = 3.61 GPA
