Co-Curricular Activities

Student Academic Eligibility: The student academic eligibility policy of Robbinsdale Area Schools requires that for a student to be eligible to participate in any co-curricular activity, the student must have had a passing grade (A, B, C, D or P) in 80 percent of the semester course in which the student was enrolled during the previous semester. At the end of each semester, the school’s athletic office will screen the grades of all students who participate in co-curricular activities. First and third quarter grades will be checked as a warning to those students who are passing less than 80 percent of their courses. If an incomplete is not changed to a passing grade within three weeks after the semester, the incomplete changes to a no credit (NC). A student who is declared scholastically ineligible may appeal the decision. The appeal will be on a standard district form and must be complete and sent to the chairperson of the appeals committee which consists of the athletic director from the school involved, the principal from the school involved and a staff member (optional). To regain eligibility, a student must earn 80 percent passing grades for the nine-week marking period, 80 percent passing grades the next semester marking period, or attend summer school and make up enough subjects to qualify under the 80 percent rule. If declared scholastically ineligible, a student must complete five days of practice before re-entering competition.
