GREATER EGG HARBOR REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT ELIGIBILITY POLICY

The Eligibility Policy will apply equally to all students that participate in activities and athletics. Students will gain or lose eligibility for Fall and Winter activities and athletics based upon credits earned from the preceding year. To be eligible for Fall and Winter activities and athletics, students must have earned 30 credits in the preceding school year. Pupils entering grade 9 for the first time have no eligibility requirements for Fall and Winter activities and athletics. Student eligibility in grades 9-12 for Spring activities and athletics will be determined by averaging the first and second trimester grades. To be eligible for Spring activities and athletics, students must have a passing first & second trimester average in at least six classes. A grade of WF (withdrawn failing) will be counted as a failure. The maximum number of credits that may be earned during the summer for eligibility purposes is 15 credits. Credits must be earned and reported prior to the 1st day of school. High School Student/Athletes who wish to compete in athletics in college at the Division I or Division II level must meet the initial-eligibility standards of the NCAA and be certified to compete by the NCAA Clearinghouse. The Initial-Eligibility Requirements for Division I and II are available to review at the NCAA Clearinghouse Eligibility Center website and in the High School Guidance Office. Students and parents are strongly encouraged to review the athletic eligibility requirements for the NCAA prior to the course selection process.
