Progress-Toward-Degree Requirements -- Fulfillment of Minimum Grade-Point-Average Requirements

Intent: To specify that continuing transfer student-athletes must meet minimum grade-point average requirements at the certifying institution once the student-athlete triggers the fulfillment of credit-hour requirements pursuant to NCAA Bylaw 14.4.3.1.

Additional information: This modification should clarify when a student is subject to the minimum grade-point-average requirements.

Bylaws: Amend 14.4.3.2 by adding new 14.4.3.2.3, page 124, as follows:

"14.4.3.2.3 Application of Rule to Transfer and Continuing Student. The provisions of Bylaw 14.4.3.2 shall be applicable to the eligibility of a mid-year transfer student from a two-year or four-year collegiate institution who has completed an academic year in residence, a student who has completed an academic year in residence, or a student who has used a season of eligibility in a sport at the certifying institution."
