Co-curricular activities are defined as those activities under college auspices with a staff member in charge or moderating, done for the public or in intercollegiate competition, and not done for college credit. Eligibility for co-curricular activities is assessed at the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters. For the purpose of intercollegiate athletics, “participation” is defined as practice or competition involving the team or one or more coaches.
In order to participate in co-curricular activities a student must be in good academic standing. Students who have been determined to be ineligible for participation in co-curricular activities because they are not in good academic standing and are on scholastic probation may appeal to the Associate Dean of Instruction and Assessment.
Students who have been ruled ineligible, then later regain their eligibility, are eligible to participate the day following the completion of the institution’s final examinations for that semester, provided the requisite grades and credits have been officially recorded in the Office of the Registrar.
Students accepted under restrictions are initially ineligible to participate in co-curricular activities until they have established themselves as eligible by meeting the criteria identified in this policy. Loras College will initially assume that all incoming transfer students are meeting satisfactory progress and are in good academic standing, unless they have not met the requirements of their previous institution.
A grade of “I” (Incomplete) must be successfully completed in order to be counted toward satisfactory progress and academic good standing. If the successful completion of an incomplete grade enables the student to satisfy the standard for both satisfactory progress and good academic standing, then that student can be eligible to participate as soon as the grade is officially recorded in the Office of the Registrar.
Responsibility for compliance with these regulations rests with the Director of Athletics and the moderators or directors of the other co-curricular activities. Names of participants are submitted to the Office of the Registrar, who verifies academic eligibility before participation.
