ELIGIBILITY RULES
ELIGIBILITY RULES Before you are eligible to practice with the team, you must turn in: A valid physical form (physical must have been performed at a medical facility within the calendar year) Signed proof of insurance form Student-Athlete Information Sheet Please provide parent address(es) so we can send parent passes. All players must be deemed eligible before you can compete against a team from another school (including JV games, scrimmages and exhibitions). Once you have gone into one game against another school (including JV games) and were on the field/court for a minimum of one play, you will be charged a year of eligibility for that season (scrimmages, exhibition games and medical redshirts are the only exceptions to this) FOR ALL SEASONS OF COMPETITION: 12-hour rule: You must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 institutional credits for this current semester. Developmental courses (Basic English Skills, Intermediate Algebra, ASC courses, etc.) are not institutional credits and DO NOT count toward the 12-hour rule. If you are taking repeat classes that you received a ‘D’ or better in previous semesters, we can only count one of these classes toward the 12-hour rule (We can count all repeats in which you received an “F” previously) FIRST SEASON OF COMPETITION: Entering freshmen must meet two of the following three: Overall high school GPA of 2.0 or higher Graduated in the upper half of your high school graduating class Minimum score of 18 on ACT or 860 on SAT To be eligible in your second full time semester, you must also have passed a minimum of 9 institutional credits in your first semester Transfers/existing students are students who have completed at least 2 full-time academic semesters. You must meet the following criteria: 24 hour rule: Must have accumulated at least 24 institutional credits in the last two full-time semesters (12 credits may be used in part-time and summer semesters accumulated during this timeframe)
SECOND SEASON OF COMPETITION: Must meet the 24-hour rule 24-hour progress rule: Must have accumulated at least 24 overall institutional credits THIRD SEASON OF COMPETITION: Must meet the 24-hour rule 48-hour progress rule: Must have accumulated at least 48 overall institutional credits 2.0 GPA: Your cumulative GPA must be a 2.0 or higher FOURTH SEASON OF COMPETITION: Must meet the 24-hour rule 72-hour progress rule: Must have accumulated at least 72 overall institutional credits and must meet the 48-hour rule, which states that you have completed at least 48 credits toward your major (essential studies courses and core credits for major. Non-required elective courses and credits toward a non-required minor do not count) 2.0 GPA: Your cumulative GPA must be a 2.0 or higher ** Regardless of number of seasons, you must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher once you reach junior status academically (accumulated 60 or more total institutional credits) ** Repeated courses: If you failed them in prior attempts, we can count them. If you received a D or better previously, we cannot count them toward the 24-hour rule. Keep in mind that your cumulative GPA is based on the grade you got in your last attempt. In other words, if you receive a ‘C’ and then repeat the class and receive an ‘F’, the ‘C’ is wiped out and only the ‘F’ is used to calculate your GPA. ** All new transfers must complete a Transfer Form. Transfers from a 4-year institution: You must be in residence at Mayville State for 16 calendar weeks before you can be eligible, unless your former institution provides us with a written release. **If you have never competed for an NAIA school, you must be deemed eligible through the NAIA Eligibility Center before you can compete. Registering in the center and providing them the necessary information is the responsibility of the student. Mayville State CAN NOT provide this information or paperwork on behalf of the student, nor can we contact your former schools or high schools to request this information.
