Reminder to athletes and
parents: Student-athletes are subject to bi-weekly eligibility
checks throughout the sport season. Every two weeks each
athlete’s grades will be checked. Students receiving more than
one F on these bi-weekly grade checks will be ineligible for two
weeks. Also, grades for a given quarter will determine
eligibility for athletics for the following nine-week grading
period.
