Eligibility Rules for participation in School activities

All students representing Lubbock High School in University Interscholastic League contests, as well as any other extracurricular activities, must meet the eligibility rules in the "Constitution and Rules" of the Interscholastic League along with all state and local school board policies concerning eligibility. This applies to all on or off campus activities and out-of-town events.

A student whose average in any course falls below 70 at the end of a six weeks grading period will be ineligible during the next six weeks period but may regain eligibility at the end of the next three weeks if all grades in all classes are passing. Students may continue to practice with the team during the ineligible period, which begins one week following the end of the six weeks period. Students will receive a progress report in the middle of each six weeks period if their average is below 75 so they can work harder to avoid losing their eligibility.

Another eligibility rule states that incoming sophomores must have earned at least 5 credits, juniors must have earned at least 10 credits, and seniors must have earned at least 15 credits to be eligible during the first six weeks period of the year. Students who do not meet these credit requirements but do pass five (5) subjects during the spring semester will be eligible during the first six weeks of the fall semester. The five (5) credits must be State approved for graduation. Local credit will not count in this case. Be sure to keep up with the number of credits earned each year to avoid losing eligibility under this rule. Students will be asked to present grades to their sponsor or coach prior to missing a class.
