To be eligible to represent KSU in intercollegiate athletics competition, a student-athlete shall be enrolled in a minimum of 12 hours (at all times), be in good academic standing and maintain satisfactory progress toward a baccalaureate or equivalent degree. Any student-athlete who is placed on academic probation will not be able to participate in athletic competition and/or travel during the following semester. Practice, weights, skills training, and conditioning will be allowable. Any student who has unsatisfactory grades at the midterm will be suspended and will not return to countable athletic related activity until they’ve met with a coach, academic advisor, and developed a plan to ensure satisfactory progress in those classes. A waiver of the minimum full-time enrollment requirement may be granted for a student enrolled in the final term of the baccalaureate program. Also, a student may represent KSU while enrolled as a graduate student, or while enrolled and seeking a second baccalaureate degree at KSU.
Certification for practice and competition will be done every semester. At the beginning of the fall semester and at the beginning of the spring semester. Student-athletes must meet the required GPA to continue participation in athletics.
Student-athletes must complete 24 (non-repeated) credit hours per academic year, and must achieve the following cumulative minimum grade-point average:
Student-athletes must earn a minimum of 18 hours of credit during the regular academic year, because no more than 6 semester hours of credit can count toward satisfactory progress from attending summer school or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Test.

If a student-athlete does not qualify for midyear certification his/her case will be reviewed by the Compliance office where notification of competition suspensions for the student athlete will be issued accordingly.
Prior approval from the Office of the Registrar is required if courses taken during another's institution's summer term are to be utilized in determining whether credit is transferable back to KSU. You must complete the Visiting Student form (Office of the Registrar).
Student-athletes who have failed to meet the good academic standing grade-point average requirement may attend summer classes at KSU. KSU will only accept the transferable credits
