Eligibility Issues

Student Academic Eligibility

  • Students must be on grade level the first day of school to participate that school year. Credits may be made up and a student could regain eligibility per https://khsaa.org/common_documents/handbook/bylaws/bylaw5.pdf after successful completion of a trimester or semester.    
  • Students must be in school a minimum of three hours to participate that day unless approved by the school principal.
  • Students must be passing 4 hours of instruction to be eligible the next week per KHSAA requirements.  This means 4 of 6 classes or 5 of 7.
  • Grades for all students must be checked weekly on a consistent day.
  • A school’s School-Based Decision Making (SBDM) Council may adopt stricter academic requirements than the KHSAA. Contact your local school athletic director or principal to get a copy of your school’s requirements.
  • Students not cleared by the athletic director due to grades or transfer may not participate in any type of activity.
