Detailed specifics can be found in the NCAA Manual. STEP ONE: Student-athlete must be in good academic standing at the University. STEP TWO: Satisfactorily complete 24 credit hours each academic year or an average of 12 hours per semester of actual attendance. Summer credit hours may be used to satisfy the 24-credit-hour requirement when certifying a student-athlete entering his or her second year of collegiate enrollment. Summer hours may also be used to meet the 40/60/80-percent-of-degree requirement. STEP THREE:
Make progress toward completion of your specific degree program based on the following: STEP FOUR: Amended Academic Standing Rules for Undergraduate Students at CSU (GPA Requirements) The standard for maintaining good academic standing as an undergraduate student at Cleveland State University will change effective the end of the 2003 Fall Semester. All undergraduate students will need to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 to remain in good standing. Students will be placed on probation the first time they fall below a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or receive a GPA below 1.0 for any given semester. Students with 60 hours of earned credit or less who fail to achieve a 2.0 after a semester on probation will be reviewed by their college for probation/dismissal actions. Evidence of substantial academic improvement will be required for continued probationary standing. Students with more than 60 hours of earned credit who fail to achieve a 2.0 after a semester on probation will be automatically dismissed. Petitions requesting a reversal of the dismissal action will be acted upon by the dean of the student's college. STEP FIVE: Contact the Athletic Academic Advising Office with any questions that you may have regarding courses, eligibility or tutoring. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Practice & Competition Limitations
