1. Academics: Satisfactory academic standard is defined as maintaining a “C” (2.0) average grade point or above for the preceding academic term. Make up of credit: Students must have a 2.0 GPA with no F’s from the previous quarter. Spring quarter grades will be accepted for fall competition. Deficiencies in grades may be made up according to UHSSA policy (page 21 scholastic rule, section 7) during summer school period provided the same class is offered that the student is deficient in. The class must be made up at the participant’s school’s summer program, UBATC, USU, or in the event no summer program is available at a school, in a summer program that has prior approval from the school principal. Courses not offered at the above mentioned schools cannot be made up. All summer school grades will be pass/fail. The student’s GPA will then be recalculated to see if he/she has the necessary GPA to be eligible for participation in fall sports. A student’s citizenship must be in line with the current high school’s citizenship policy. 2. Citizenship: An acceptable citizenship standard is defined as not receiving any “unsatisfactory” (or ‘U’) grades in citizenship. If “unsatisfactory” citizenship grades are received, the student shall remain ineligible until they are cleared by the teacher and with approval of the school administration. The basis for citizenship grading shall be policies and regulations established by the student government and school administration.
