MatChick76 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Does anyone know the "grade policy"? Does each school have their own policy, or is it regulated by the IHSAA? I was just wondering how it works. If a student becomes ineligible because of grades, is there a pre-determined time period of "sitting out" or is it just until the teacher's sign off that the grades are in order?

TripleB Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Doesn't a student have to be passing 75% of classes, I think that's an IHSAA mandate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatChick76 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 So, do they have to wait until the quarter is up, or is it just once the grades are above passing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coacha_teambraves Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Each school usually has there standards as some schools have diffrent set ups, some are on semesters, some trimesters ect. Usually to become eligable once you have been considered ineligable, it is usually at the end of the grading period and sometimes the mid-term depending on the school.

chambers Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 This is the IHSAA by-laws ?18-1 To be eligible scholastically, students must have received passing grades and earned credit at the end of their last grading period in school in at least seventy percent (70%) of the maximum number of full credit subjects (or the equivalent) that a student can take and must be currently enrolled in at least seventy percent (70%) of the maximum number of full credit subjects (or the equivalent) that a student can take. Semester grades take precedence. Two semesters of the state required physical education course may be counted as a full credit subject for eligibility purposes even though a full credit is not granted by the Department of Education. When the block four scheduling program is used, students must be currently enrolled in and passing three courses. Class periods must meet Indiana Department of Education standards for awarding credit and minutes in class. NOTE: A full credit subject requires a minimum total of 250 minutes of instruction per week for one semester. Maximum Classes 4 5 6 7 8 Must Pass.............. 3 4 5 5 6 18-1.6 Students who are ineligible scholastically at the end of a grading period or semester, are ineligible for the following grading period. From the question an answer section of the by-laws: Q. 18-4 If a student is academically ineligible at the end of a grading period or semester, is the student academically ineligible for the entire next grading period? A. Yes, an academically ineligible student at the end of any grading period is academically ineligible for the entire next grading period. (Rule 18-1.6) Q. 18-5 If a student is academically ineligible at the end of a grading period or a semester, when can the player become academically eligible? A. If, following a period of academic ineligibility a student successfully meets all academic requirements during a succeeding grading period, the student will be eligible to play on the date the principal certifies grades for the succeeding grading period. Here the student would be eligible on the certification date for the succeeding grading period. (Rule 18-2) Q. 18-6 Is a student who had been academically ineligible during a grading period, but who meets the scholarship requirements the next grading period, eligible to play the night of the last day of the next grading period? A. It depends on the certification date of the student?s school. A student becomes academically ineligible on the certification date and also academically eligible on the certification date. Here, if the certification date is the last date of the grading period, then the student would be academically eligible to play sports that day. If the certification date was the following Tuesday, then the player would be eligible the following Tuesday. (Rule 18-2) 18-2 Each school will establish consistent grading periods within the school year. The principal shall certify these specific dates to the Association on the membership form and certification dates for eligibility if different from ending dates. Certification of eligibility must be completed no later than noon of the tenth school day following the end of a grading period as specified on the membership form.? So the date the school has established to certify the grades to the IHSAA after the next grading period is the date an ineligible student could become eligible again.

Boot Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've always wondered if a study hall counts as a class or not, and if so is it an automatic pass or not. Anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Its not a class if they don't get a grade in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlHungus Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Its not a class if they don't get a grade in it. I heard you were a study hall academic all-american. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 No, that was JV Football All-American as a junior in high school. I only took one study hall class and was bored out of my mind. I usually took the Independent Study with the Giegalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatChick76 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for all the good info. An earlier thread got me thinking about it, but I wasn't sure if every school had a different policy or if they had to follow some sort of IHSAA guideline.

No One Famous Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Washington Township in Indy (North Central High School) requires a 2.0 GPA to participate in athletics. You could have all C's and one C- and be ineligible. Any other districts/schools that strict? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No One Famous Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 That would make sense since Dr. White moved from Wash Twp to IPS. I believe this policy is his doing. I bet some teams would be devasted by this policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Team1Goal Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It's ridiculious if a high school athlete can't maintain at least a C- grade point average or better. Even most with learning issue have plenty of oppertunity to get the help they need to stay in that grade range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
