Athletic Eligibility
Student-athletes are encouraged to make sure that their academic performance takes priority over their athletic performance. Therefore, student-athletes at OCS must meet certain academic eligibility requirements in order to participate in athletic contests. Grades and GPA’s for student-athletes will be checked every three weeks during the season. Students who fail to meet the following two criteria will be ineligible to participate in athletic contests or to travel with the team to away games. Ineligible students may continue to participate in practices at the discretion of their parents, the OCH athletic director, and the head coach of their team.
- The student must have a minimum of a 2.50 GPA in all classes.
- The student may have no grade lower than 62 percent in any class.
Students who fail to meet the eligibility requirements for two consecutive grade checks for the same sport will be removed from the team roster and prohibited further participation in team activities. Student-athletes who have a GPA of 2.50 or greater but have any grade lower than 70 percent and higher than 63 percent will be placed on academic probation. Students who are on academic probation will have their GPA’s and grades checked weekly and may continue to participate in all team activities provided they meet the following criteria:
- The student’s GPA must remain at or above 2.50.
- The student must continue to meet all the requirements for eligibility established above. Students on probation who fail to meet these criteria will become academically ineligible until the next grade check.
For a student who is on ESL status, eligibility will be determined based on the student’s ESL rubrics for the grading period. One failing score on a rubric will result in probation. Two or more failing scores on rubrics will result in ineligibility. A failing score on a rubric for the same class for two consecutive grading periods will result in ineligibility. Students who are ineligible or on academic probation will be notified in writing by a member of the OCS Administrative Team.
