Student Athlete Eligibility

Student athletes must meet certain requirements to stay eligible with the NCAA. 的 four requirements that Advisors need to keep in mind most are:

Full Time Enrollment

Student athletes must be enrolled in 12 credits in order to be eligible to compete 在田径. Student athletes must also not drop below 12 credits during the semester in order to continue competing 在田径. 研究生 students must have 6 credit 小时. By taking 15-16 credit 小时 per semester, student athletes can ensure graduation in a timely manner.

Satisfactory Progress

Student athletes must successfully complete, prior to each fall term, a cumulative total of at least 24 semester 小时 toward their major from the previous year. 这 is equivalent to at least 12 semester 小时 during each of the previous academic terms. In the event that less than 24 小时 have been passed during the academic year, summer courses may be taken and counted toward the necessary 24 credit 小时.

We advise student athletes take 15 - 16 小时 each semester towards their major. 这 way they have some flexibility built in if they need to drop or withdraw from a class and will still be able to stay on track for "satisfactory progress."

Percentage of Degree

Student athletes must complete a specific percentage of their major requirements as they continue in college. 的se major requirements only count classes required in the catalog for their core and major as well as any electives needed to reach the 120 credits to graduate. It is also important to check the catalog year that the student-athlete 是后. 的re can be major differences that can affect their eligibility. 学生 can elect to take a new catalog year; they cannot go back to a past catalog year.

主要选择

Student athletes are required to choose a major before their fifth semester of enrollment. 这 is the major that they will be required to progress towards.

平均绩点要求

Generally, if a student-athlete maintains a 2.0 Cumulative GPA they will remain eligible.

Jacksonville University has the following requirements:

Probation/Suspension GPA Requirement

Sophomore (29 - 57 credit 小时 completed)

Scheduling Classes

Student athletes also need to be mindful of their practice times when scheduling classes. Sometimes it is possible for the students to schedule traditionally afternoon classes (such as Lab courses) in their off season. However, there are times and majors that have required afternoon classes. If the student-athlete has a conflict with practice they will need to work the situation out with his/her athletic advisor.
