Intercollegiate Athletics
Eligibility: The rules of the California Community College Athletic Association provide that a student must be actively enrolled in 12 units at the time of participation. A student who comes directly from high school is immediately eligible for varsity competition. In order to be eligible for a second season of that sport, a student must complete and pass 24 semester units between seasons of competition while maintaining a 2.0 grade point average. Additionally, student athletes must complete at least 6 units during the preceding academic term in which the student is enrolled as a full-time student. Questions pertaining to eligibility should be directed to the athletic director or the head coach of the sport of interest.
