ANSWER:
Yes. Student-Athlete R is eligible for a second season of competition by satisfying the second season requirement (2.D.3) and 2.D.2.b.
His total accumulation is 24 hours with a GPA over a 2.00, therefore satisfying Section 2.D.3. According to Section 2.D.3 he must satisfy one
of the requirements of Article V, Section 2.D.2 as well. He satisfies 2.D.2.b based on his one previous full-time term.
Prior to the fall 2020 semester he has been enrolled in only one full-time term: fall 2019. The fall 2020 term is his second full-time term and
according to this rule (2.D.2.b) as long as he has earned an accumulation of 12 hours with a 1.75 before the 18th calendar day of his second full-
time term, he satisfies this rule and is eligible.

Case 5
Full-Time Summer School Enrollment
SITUATION:
Student-Athlete R graduates from high school in May. Student-Athlete R immediately enrolls in Community College A for six (6) hours in
Summer Session I, and six (6) credit hours in Summer Session II. Student-Athlete R passes nine (9) of the 12 credit hours taken at Community
College A in summer school. Is Student-Athlete R eligible to participate at Community College A in the fall term?
ANSWER:
No. Student-Athlete R was enrolled full-time and did not pass 12 credit hours with a 1.75 GPA required to meet academic progress
requirements. A student-athlete is full-time in summer school if he/she enrolls in 12 or more credit hours, at the same institution,
utilizing any combination of summer school sessions.
NOTE: If the student-athlete attempts six (6) hours at Community College A and another six (6) hours at Community College B during the
same summer session, that summer term IS NOT counted as a full-time term.

Case 6

SITUATION: Full-Time Summer Term
The school year at Community College A consists of a fall and spring semester. It also conducts two summer sessions of six weeks each.
The courses offered during the summer sessions are the same as those offered during the regular school year and carry the same number of
credits and contact hours.
Student-Athlete R accumulated 12 credit hours over two (2) full-time semesters, during the fall and spring semester. During the spring
semester Student-Athlete R passed 10 of the 12 credit hours in which he/she was enrolled. To re-establish his/her eligibility, Student-Athlete R
enrolls in six (6) credits during each of the two summer sessions and passes the 12 credit hours with a 2.00 GPA. Is Student-Athlete R eligible
to participate in the intercollegiate athletic program at Community College A during the following fall semester?
ANSWER:
Yes. Many colleges conduct several sessions during summer school. The credit hours earned during one or more sessions of summer
school may be used for a full term of college enrollment provided they add up to 12 or more credits. Student-Athlete R meets the requirements
of Article V, Section D.2.c, because he/she passed 12 credit hours with a 2.000 GPA during the previous term of full-time attendance.
NOTE: Before Student-Athlete R can participate in a second season of competition the requirements of Article V, Section D.3 must
also be satisfied.

Case 7

SITUATION: Break of Enrollment

Student-Athlete R attends Community College A during the fall 2018 term as a full-time student and earns 14 credit hours with a 2.50
GPA and does not participate. During the spring 2019 term, he attends Community College A as a part-time student and does not attend
summer school. Is he eligible for the fall 2019 in the sport of cross country as a first season athlete?
ANSWER:
Yes. Student-Athlete R has one full-time term: fall of 2018. Therefore, this student-athlete’s eligibility is based upon the fall 2018 term
during which he passed 14 credits with a 2.50 GPA, satisfying Article V, Section 2.D.2.b as a first season athlete.
