General Eligibility Requirements
Academic eligibility for participation in extra-curricular activities
is determined twice during the school year. For the
first semester, September 1-January 30, eligibility is established
September 1. Eligibility for the second semester,
January 30 - June 30, is established January 30, as per NJSIAA rules.
A. Newly placed ninth grade students are automatically eligible during
their first semester.
B. Returning students in grades 10,11 and 12 must have earned 27 1/2
credits in the immediate preceeding
academic year. Summer school grades or those from an approved tutor may
be used in determining
eligibility. Eligibility for the second semester (January 30 - June 30)
for all grades, 9-12, is dependent upon a
student passing the equivalent of 27 1/2 credits during the immediately
previous first semester.
C. Students carrying less than 27 1/2 credits (early release) in any
semester, must pass all courses on their
schedule.
D. Once a student is determined to be academically ineligible for any
semester, that student may
re-establish
eligibility in the next semester by meeting the requirements as detailed
in Section B or C
above.
E. For high school athletes, NJSIAA rules allow for athletes who are
participating in a particular sports season to
finish their season if they should become ineligible mid-year. The student
athlete would then be ineligible for
the next sports season.
NON-ACADEMIC REASONS FOR BEING DECLARED INELIGIBLE
A. Violation of the Board of Education Attendance Policy
B. Violation of the “3 Suspension Rule” which shall also keep
a senior from participating in the graduation
