Academic Advisement for Student Athletes

The policy of the Council of Academic Deans on Student Athletes with regard to academic standards reads as follows:

1. To participate in the formal athletic programs at the University, a student must be currently enrolled as a full-time student. Full-time status is defined by University catalog as enrollment of 12 credits minimum per semester. Such a program would allow a student to graduate within five years.

2. A student athlete must be making satisfactory academic progress. This means that a student must have successfully completed 24 credits during the previous academic year. This would allow a student the fall, spring, and summer semesters in which to earn these 24 credits. In addition the student-athlete must satisfy the student standing policy as outlined in the Student Handbook and University catalogs.

3. Student-athletes must maintain a 2.0 cumulative QPA at all times in order to be academically eligible to compete in inter-collegiate competition. QPAs for student athletes are calculated at the end of each semester.
