Under
current rules, a student is not required to meet the 2.0 grade-point average
requirement until the student is considered a junior
either academically or athletically. Under this proposal, students would be required to meet the GPA requirement
after two semesters/three quarters.
Should students be required to have
a 2.0 after freshman year?
SUBJECT:

2.000 cumulative grade point average (GPA) or higher must be certified each subsequent
grading period in which the student wishes to compete after junior
academic standing is reached.
