ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility is based on two primary measures: Academic Standing/Progress Towards Degree and Rules Compliance. Each NCAA institution is responsible for certifying the eligibility of student athletes in all sports sponsored by the University. NCAA Academics: Student Athlete Progress Toward Degree (PTD).
Student athlete academic success is a priority for Seattle University faculty, coaches and staff, as well as the NCAA. To remain eligible to practice, compete, and receive athletic aid, all student athletes must progress towards a specified degree plan in a timeframe set forth by the NCAA. This is known as progress toward degree or PTD.
It is important to take responsibility for understanding your particular eligibility scenario and to be aware of the following.
To Remain Academically Eligible:
- You must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits per quarter. The only exceptions are the last term of college for graduation or students with an NCAA approved disabilities waiver.
- You must pass a minimum of 6-degree applicable credits each quarter and 27 credits since the beginning of the previous fall term. 23
- You must maintain the following NCAA minimum GPA standards to remain eligible for the following term: 1.8 after Year 1; 1.9 after Year 2; 2.0 the remainder of their collegiate career.
- NCAA eligibility is based on cumulative GPA
- You must declare your degree prior to the start of your third year.
- You must pass minimum totals towards your degree and maintain minimum GPA standards every year of full-time enrollment. See the next page for PTD percentage requirements.
- Communicate with Stephen or Michael BEFORE changing your major.
- Progress Toward Degree (PTD) By Year: (Note: Percentages based on 180 credits required for graduation)
- At the conclusion of a student’s 1st year of full-time enrollment, the student must pass a minimum of 36 credits.
- At the conclusion of a student’s 2nd year of full-time enrollment, the student must DECLARE a degree and meet 40% of the degree requirements 40% = earned 72-degree applicable credits.
- At the conclusion of a student’s 3rd year of full-time enrollment— the student must meet 60% of the degree requirements 60% = earned 108-degree applicable credits.
- At the conclusion of a student’s 4th year of full-time enrollment, the student must meet 80% of the degree requirements 80% = earned 144-degree applicable credits.
TRAVEL LETTERS
Travel letters are sent out on the first day of the quarter to students that are in season. It is your responsibility to email the travel letter to your professor by the first week of class.
Student athletes are also responsible for identifying exam conflicts with competitions travel. Student athletes must meet with their professors to schedule an alternative date/time for exams by the end of the second week of school.
If the professor requires that an exam must be proctored while traveling, please contact your team's Athletic Academic Coordinator.
This must be communicated with your professor and SAAS team one week prior to an exam needing proctoring.
EXAM PROCTORING
Seattle University sponsors intercollegiate athletic programs at the Division I level. Due to travel for athletic contests or conflicting home events, student-athletes sometimes miss exams, quizzes, or other assessments administered on days of excused class absences.
If proctoring an assessment is requested, a SAAS staff member will contact the faculty member and work with them to obtain the assessment materials and complete the Athletics Proctoring Agreement (APA) form.
There should be no interaction or communication between faculty and coaching staff members regarding the proctoring of a missed assessment.
The faculty members should only communicate with the SASS staff and the student regarding the missed assessment.
It is the responsibility of the Faculty member to stipulate the conditions for the assessment (e.g. allotted time, permitted resources, return instructions) and provide the information in writing on the APA form or via email to a SAAS staff member.
A SAAS staff member will ensure that the APA form is complete with all professor instructions and give it to the proctor.
BOOKS
Books are purchased on behalf of those who have book scholarships. If there are required books for a course you are enrolled in, books will be purchased or rented for you and at the bookstore. They are available for you to pick up on the first day of class each quarter. If you receive a digital copy, that will be emailed to you through your SU email.
If you are on athletic book scholarship and purchased REQUIRED class materials with your own money, you can submit a reimbursement through Chrome River. Please follow the instructions included HERE.
Dropping a Class
If you decide to drop a class, you must return the books for that class to the Athletic Academic Services (Redhawk Center) immediately by the Add/Drop deadline. If the books are not returned immediately, you must repay the initial cost of the books. A hold will be placed on your account until the payment is received.
Student Athlete Scholarship Book Return
All textbooks must be returned and handed to an academic support staff member in the Redhawk Center by 3:00 pm on the Thursday of finals week. For students with finals on Friday or Saturday who still require their textbooks, please reach out to your respective academic coordinator.
Failure to return the textbooks will result in a charge to the student athlete. The charge will either be for the current market value of the textbooks if they were purchased or for the cost of the non-return fee for rentals. If a textbook is lost or stolen, student-athletes will not be provided with replacement books. These charges will be posted on the student athlete's account on Student Planning. While this may not prevent you from registering for future courses, failing to address the charge within three months may result in the amount being sent to collections.
LAPTOP/TECHNOLOGY RENTAL
Through the Seattle University Lemieux Library, there are computers and hotspots available for rent. Technology equipment can be rented out for a whole quarter. For more information on how to request equipment, follow the link to their website.
