athletic ability. However, you may receive institutional aid that is not related to athletic ability.
3. Non-qualifier- based on your high school transcripts you have not met any of the required criteria set forth by the NCAA for freshman eligibility, thus you cannot receive any athletic aid or any other institutional aid that may be based on athletic ability, and you can not practice, nor compete in your first year.
Any student-athlete who has not received a confirmation of their eligibility status from the NCAA Eligibility Center Office must come to the office of the Assistant Athletic Director/Compliance Coordinator in Exum immediately. We will take the appropriate steps to ensure that you successfully complete the process of registering with the Eligibility Center.
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 ANY athletic activities (practice, competition, conditioning etc.) during the following semester. Any student who has unsatisfactory grades at the midterm, will be suspended and will not return to countable athletic related activity until satisfactory progress is determined 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 or professional 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:
24 semester hours 2.0
48 semester hours 2.0
72 semester hours 2.0
96 semester hours 2.0
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.
In order to meet midyear certification a student-athlete must:
Pass 9 hours each semester
Have a 2.0 GPA continuously to stay eligible
