In order to be eligible a student must adhere to the California State Athletic Code and Coast Conference eligibility rules and regulations.

The following principles pertain to all matters of eligibility:

1. In order to be eligible, a student-athlete must be actively and continuously enrolled in a minimum of 12 units during the season of sport. Such eligibility is required for nonconference, conference, and post-conference participation.

2. To be eligible for the second season of competition, the student- athlete must complete and pass 24 semester units with a cumulative 2.0 (C) grade point average. These units must be completed prior to the beginning of the semester of the second season of competition. All units must be completed and passed at a regionally accredited post-secondary institution.

3. A student transferring for academic or athletic participation, who has previously participated in intercollegiate athletics at another California Community College, must complete 12 units in residence prior to the beginning of the semester of competition.

4. In order to continue athletic participation in any sport, the student- athlete must maintain a cumulative 2.0 (C) grade point average in accredited post-secondary coursework computed since the start of the semester of first participation.

5. The 12 unit residency rule for previous participants will be waived for a student-athlete who has not competed at a post-secondary institution in the past five years.

6. In meeting the unit requirements, courses in which grades of D, F, or NC were received may be repeated. Under special circumstances, courses that have been completed with a grade of C or better may be repeated; however, units repeated with a D or higher grade will not be counted toward the minimum unit requirement in the semester of competition.

Student-athletes who plan to transfer prior to receiving an Associate degree should meet with their counselor/advisor and verify eligibility status for transfer based on past work and test scores from high school. Those students who wish to seek financial assistance (athletic scholarship) and be eligible for competition must meet minimum requirements in accordance with the Bylaws of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) or National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) transfer regulations. Questions regarding eligibility should be addressed to the Dean of Physical Education/Athletics, Building 3, Room 3176; call 738-4271 or email.
