Satisfactory Progress Requirements for Intercollegiate Athletes

A student participating in intercollegiate athletics must be enrolled as a full-time student and be in good academic standing (as defined for all students) during the semester in which they are participating. Furthermore, to be eligible for competition, a returning intercollegiate athlete must have earned a cumulative total of 24 hours during the previous twelve months. For intercollegiate athletes participating in the Fall Term, the cumulative hours shall be counted from the immediately previous Summer, Spring and Fall Terms. For intercollegiate athletes participating in the Spring Term, the cumulative hours shall be counted from the immediately previous Fall, Summer and Spring Terms. An intercollegiate athlete who has been enrolled for less than one academic year must have earned 12 hours during the previous academic term. These requirements shall not apply to students during their first semester of full-time enrollment at Mount St. Joseph University. The earned hours requirement may not apply to students who are in their first season of athletics. These requirements apply to students participating in any intercollegiate sport regardless of the sport’s affiliation with the NCAA.
