HEALTH FORMS AND HEALTH INSURANCE

Varsity athletes are required to submit completed health forms to the health services office prior to the start of the season in order to participate in any given sport. Athletes are also required to have health insurance. The Health Services Office will provide students with information regarding available student plan options.

RECREATION AND INTRAMURALS

Physical fitness is an integral part of student life at Mount Aloysius. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the wide variety of activities and facilities available according to individual interests. The Health and Physical Fitness Center houses aerobic exercise equipment and free weights. Cosgrave Center offers cardio and weightlifting equipment on the lower level.

INTRAMURAL PROGRAMS

A wide variety of programs are open to all Mount Aloysius students. They include but are not limited to: flag football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer and wiffle-ball. Annually, intramural teams compete for the MAC cup which is awarded each spring semester.  

USE OF ATHLETIC FACILITIES AND FIELDS

The facilities and athletic fields are available to students, faculty, alumni, and staff of Mount Aloysius. They are also available to family members of the College faculty and staff. Family members must be at least 12 years of age, and if under the age of 21, must be accompanied by an adult. The facility and athletic fields are also available for community use. For more information on use guidelines, please see the director of athletics.

The basketball court and fitness center are not available during team practices. Practice times are posted in the gym. On game nights, all recreational areas of the gym are closed. 

MOUNT ALOYSIUS COLLEGE MINIMUM ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS FOR PARTICIPATION

A. Cumulative Grade Point Average

1. During the first two full-time semesters, all student-athletes must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 1.5.
2. Transfer students, during their first year of attendance at the conference institution, shall be held to the same standard as incoming freshmen.
3. Beginning with third full-time semester, a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 shall be required to compete in a conference sponsored sport.

B. Normal Progress

By the start of the fifth full-time semester (or third year of athletics eligibility), the student-athlete shall be enrolled in a course of study toward fulfilling a major. 

C. Waivers

Mount Aloysius College chooses not to grant waivers to any student. We believe that a student who is at risk academically should concentrate on his/her studies. The student will be eligible for athletic competition again only after his/her cumulative grade point average reaches a 2.0 or higher. 

D. Mid-Semester Reinstatement

It is possible for a student-athlete who is ineligible at the start of a semester to become re-eligible mid-semester, e.g.:

1. upon successful completion of an incomplete course.
2. upon an official grade change.
3. upon recognition of institutional error.
4. upon completion of a course lasting less than a full semester.

In all circumstances, the student-athlete will not be eligible until the grade change is officially recorded in the office of the registrar.

PROVISIONAL ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY PROGRAM

The purpose of the program is to provide the student athlete with structure and guidance for improving their academic performance.
