Athletic Eligibility
Eligibility for students participating in intercollegiate athletics is determined by regulations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Iowa Conference, as well as by the academic regulations of Cornell College. Participation includes practicing with the team, traveling with the team at College expense, and playing or competing in intercollegiate events. The following are special academic regulations that affect student athletes.
To be eligible to represent Cornell College in intercollegiate athletics under National Collegiate Athletic Association guidelines, a student must:
- be enrolled as a full-time student at Cornell College and be making satisfactory progress toward a degree, as defined by the College. Cornell requires that a full-time student register for a minimum of eight terms in each academic year, unless the date of enrollment is after the first term, in which case a student must register for all the remaining terms of the academic year. Seniors must register for at least the number of terms needed to complete their graduation requirements.
- be enrolled for a minimum of three term credits (12 semester hours) during the first semester (Terms One-Four) in order to participate in intercollegiate athletics during any or all of those terms, or enrolled for a minimum of four term credits (16 semester hours) during the second semester (Terms Five-Nine) in order to participate in intercollegiate athletics during any or all of those terms. A student who elects to enroll in only three terms during the first semester or only four terms during the second semester must be enrolled in a course for all the other terms during that academic year. The exception to this rule is the senior athlete who completes her or his final course while in the middle of a season. These seniors may finish the season without enrolling for additional courses; however, if they wish to participate in another sport, the NCAA requires that they must enroll for a minimum of three term credits (12 semester hours) during that sport season.
Questions concerning eligibility should be addressed to the Athletics Director and, if they involve registration or satisfactory progress, to the Registrar. Students who have been ruled ineligible to participate in intercollegiate athletics may appeal such a ruling to the Academic Standing Committee. Similarly, exceptions to Cornell College's athletic regulations may be granted by the Academic Standing Committee for compelling reasons. Students should petition as early as possible on forms available from the Registrar's Office. All such petitions must be signed by the Athletics Director, the student's coach, and the student's academic advisor.
