Bylaw 14.1.6.2.2.2
14 Eligibility
1 General Eligibility Requirements
6 Full Time Enrollment
2 Requirement for competition
2 Full Time Program - 12 hour requirement
2 Waivers
b Olympic, Pan American, or World University Games
The NCAA Academic requirements Committee may
waive the minimum full time requirement for
any participant in the olympic, pan american,
or world university games who, because of such
participation, may lose eligibility for
practice and competition in any sport
Application of Legislation:
According to a 1990 NCAA interpretations committee
interpretation, the academic requirements committee may grant
waivers of the minimum full time enrollment requirements only
for actual participation in the games:
Circumstances:
SA had been participating with the national team during the
fall of 1993 and was released Feb 1 1994. From Feb 1 through
Feb 11 the SA was scheduled to stay with the olympic team in
europe to be available for placement on the final roster
should any of the other players sustain an injury. The
appropriate waivers for participation for tryouts and
competition for the national team were obtained. There are
two other SAs participating with the olympic team from the
applicant institution who will receive waivers of the minimum
full-time enrollment requirement for any participation in the
olympic games who, because of such participation, may lose
eligibility for practice or competition. The SA, having been
released just before participation in the olympic games and
immediately after participation with the national team, will
not be eligible for this waiver.
Request:
Waive the normal application ofthe 12 hour enrollment rule for
the SA's situation and consider the SA in the same light as
those who did make the olympic team. The request is based on
the fact that the SA had no control over the date the SA was
released by the olympic team and the disadvantage it created
for the SA. Further, the applicant institution is four weeks
into its current sementer, which would preclude the SA from
being registered in a full-time program of studies.
Action:
Granted.
