Minimum Academic Eligibility Standards for Athletic Participation

Mount Aloysius College Minimum Academic Eligibility Standards for Athletic Participation

A. Cumulative Grade Point Average

During the first two full-time semesters, all student-athletes must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 1.5.
Transfer students, during their first year of attendance at the conference institution, shall be held to the same standard as incoming freshmen.
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.:

• upon successful completion of an incomplete course.
• upon an official grade change.
• upon recognition of institutional error.
• 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 Registrar’s Office
