Eligibility Requirements for Student-Athletes

To represent an Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD) school in athletic competitions, student-athletes must meet the following criteria:

Academic Requirements:

Grades of Record:
- Students must earn a minimum GPA of 2.0 in 7-8 courses prior to competition.

- Citizenship:
  - Students must adhere to standards of satisfactory citizenship.
- Attendance:
  - A satisfactory attendance record is required as defined by Board Policy.

Continuing Eligibility

Eligibility is determined by the following:

A student remains eligible if they maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA on any Grade of Record.
If a student has a 2.0 GPA but more than one failing grade on any Grade of Progress, they will be ineligible to compete starting the Monday after grades are published. Eligibility can be regained by submitting a grade clearance form or having the Athletic Director receive confirmation from the teacher that the student is passing in one of the failed subjects.
If a student has more than one fail on any mid-quarter or mid-term Grade of Progress, they will be ineligible to compete beginning the Monday after grades are published. They can regain eligibility as soon as they return a grade clearance form or the Athletic Director receives communication from the teacher confirming passing status in one of the failed courses.
