Eligibility Students interested in participating on an intercollegiate athletic team should contact the coach as soon as possible. Students must be cleared medically and academically before they may participate. All potential athletes must be fulltime students enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits before they may even practice. Tryouts are not necessarily conducted in each sport. Incoming students must have been cleared through the NCAA Eligibility Center which requires an application, final high school transcripts, and SAT or ACT test scores. Initial eligibility will be determined through a sliding scale. Students who are not eligible as freshmen may be eligible to compete after completing 24 credits at the University. The initial eligibility center also requires amateurism certification. Athletic scholarships are offered in each sport based upon recommendations initiated by the coach and are renewable each year. Continuing Eligibility To continue to be eligible to participate on an intercollegiate athletic team, students must be eligible under the rules of the NCAA. The basic continuing eligibility rules are that a student must remain in good academic standing (cannot be on probation) and maintain satisfactory progress (an average of 12 credits per full-time semester enrolled). Questions relating specifically to eligibility should be directed to the Compliance Coordinator in the Athletic Department. Questions about the intercollegiate athletic program should be directed to the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at 610-683- 4094 in Keystone Hall 105.
