UCCS Athletics

First semester student eligibility: Students enrolled in their first semester at UCCS or students who transfer back to UCCS after at least one semester of full-time enrollment elsewhere are required to meet the NCAA eligibility requirements plus any additional requirements imposed by their coaching staff. 

• The NCAA allows students to compete an entire year before any further checks

Continuing student eligibility: Students in their second or later semester at UCCS are required to meet the NCAA eligibility requirements plus any additional requirements imposed by their coaching staff, and moreover must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher on courses taken at CU.

• The NCAA also allows students with a GPA as low as 1.900 after completing 24 semester hours, and as low as 1.950 after completing 48 semester hours to compete.
• This GPA requirement will be examined every semester. The responsibility for tracking and reporting eligibility rests with the athletic department and (ultimately) with the student athlete.
  • The NCAA requires satisfactory progress (including GPA) to only be evaluated at the beginning of the school year

The IAAC may grant waivers for spring semester eligibility.

The IAAC may recommend waivers for fall semester eligibility to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
