Athletic Eligibility Requirements w/Grading Periods and Probation Information
Athletic Eligibility Requirements
To encourage and promote academic excellence, all students participating in RJUHSD athletics shall demonstrate satisfactory minimum progress in meeting the requirements of graduation by undertaking the prescribed course of study and meeting the standards of proficiency established by the District. The requirement has two elements. To be eligible for participation, the student:
1. Must have earned an overall minimum 2.0 grade point average on a 4.0 unweighted grading scale during the preceding grading period (weighted grades are not used to calculate eligibility per the CIF Bylaws); and
2. Must have passed five of six (traditional schedule) or three of four (4x4 schedule) classes during the preceding grading period. Any student taking only three classes must pass all of his/her classes to be eligible on the 4x4 schedule. A “Pass” grade in a Pass/Fail Class is the equivalent of a “C” grade for calculating GPA. A 2.0 scale will be used to determine eligibility based on the total number of classes taken.
Probation Information
A student may be granted two periods of probation during his/her high school enrollment, beginning with the first school (9th grade) grading period. A probation may be granted only if the student has met one of the two academic eligibility requirements. If the athlete chooses to take their probation, they will be able to compete for that grading period only. Once they have used their two probations, they will not be eligible for probation again. NOTE: Probation may need prior approval by the head varsity coach for that season.
Completed applications, with all required signatures, must be submitted to the Assistant Principal for final approval prior to a competition, and a copy submitted to the student's coach.
If the student is below both standards, he/she will not be granted probation.
A transfer student who is ineligible from his/her previous school will not be eligible for probation upon initial enrollment at RHS.
The probation will be granted and recorded even if the student subsequently fails to perform in any competition.
