Athletic Eligibility
Like all student-athletes at Penn, College athletes must meet certain academic eligibility standards set by both the NCAA and the University.
In order to be fully eligible to compete in intercollegiate athletics, students must keep their g.p.a. at or above a 2.0, maintain full-time student status, earn at a minimum 1.5 cu's a term (important for student athletes who wish to study abroad) and complete a minimum of 8 courses per academic year. Students whose academic performance falls below these standards may retain eligibility to compete by submitting an Academic Enhancement Plan. Student-athletes enrolled in the College are also required to have a declared major by the beginning of their junior year. Any questions about these or any other eligibility issues should be referred to Dr. Alice Kelley in the College Office.
