Athletic & Extra-Curricular Eligibility Policy 

 

The policy at MCA for athletic /extra-curricular eligibility is that each student involved in such activities maintain an 85 grade-point average for each class. 
 
The dates below will serve as academic checkpoints to determine each student’s eligibility status. In the event that an individual falls below the 85 grade-point average in any class at any checkpoint date, he/she will be ineligible to participate and/or travel with the team for any athletic or extracurricular event for a minimum of 2 weeks.  

 
Following the mandatory weeks of ineligibility, the student will be declared eligible when his/her grade point average returns to an 85 or above. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate with the Administration (office) when their grade-point average has reached 85 or higher. The Administration (office) will confirm that the student is eligible and will communicate the updated eligibility status of the student with the Athletic Director and coaches. Once the student is eligible, the student’s eligibility status will not be evaluated again until the next checkpoint date. * 

At the beginning of the season for each sport, eligibility will be determined based on grades from the previous Academic Checkpoint. 
 
*Exception – If at any point the student’s grade falls below a 70 in any class, they will not be eligible to practice or participate in any event until the grade is above a 70. Again, it is the student’s responsibility to communicate with the Athletic Director and/or Administration (office) when their grade is a 70 or higher.
