2nd Year Eligibility Requirements

 

(The information below is a brief synopsis of eligibility rules and requirements. For more information, please direct all questions to Kathleen Brown, Director of Athletics.  We will help you through your questions and get any official eligibility rulings from the NJCAA, if needed.)

 

On or before the 15th calendar day from the beginning date of the term for the third full-time semester, and all subsequent semesters thereafter, as published in the college catalog, a student-athlete must satisfy one of the following four requirements to be eligible for the upcoming term:

  • Pass a minimum of 12 semester hours with a 2.00 GPA or higher during the previous semester of full-time enrollment,

OR

  • Pass an accumulation of semester hours equal to 12 multiplied by the number of semesters in which the student-athlete was previously enrolled full-time with a GPA of 2.00 or higher,

OR

  • A first season participant must have passed a minimum accumulation of 24 credit hours with a 2.00 GPA or higher for the initial term of participation, regardless of previous term or other accumulation requirements (NOTE: This only establishes eligibility for the initial term, not subsequent terms.),

OR

  • A first or second season participant must have passed a minimum accumulation of 36 credit hours for a fall sport, 48 credit hours for a spring sport, with a 2.00 GPA or higher, regardless of previous term or other accumulation requirement.

 

Prior to a second season of participation in an NJCAA certified sport, student-athletes must pass a minimum accumulation of 24 semester hours with a 2.00 GPA or higher. (This is in addition to satisfying 4.D or 4.E.)
