ACADEMICS/ELIGIBILITY Arundel student athletes held a 3.48 GPA for all sports in 2015-2016 through the 3 rd marking period. Academics are the priority of the Athletic Department. Study hall opportunities and tutoring are available to all students throughout the year. All 9 th grade students are eligible to start the school year in August.
ACADEMICS/ELIGIBILITY CONT. By the end of the 1 st quarter, freshmen need to have a 2.0 GPA. ALL other students must have 2.0 GPA prior to the beginning of the season. All students must maintain a 2.0 GPA,with no more than 1 E on their report card to be eligible for athletics at Arundel. If a student does not reach this expectation, they have a chance to regain eligibility at academic study hall on a 16 day probation period. This is a drop dead date at the start of every season. If the student does not regain eligibility at this period they are ineligible for the remainder of the season. No exceptions.
ACADEMICS/ELIGIBILITY CONT. If a student becomes ineligible during a sports season, they are disqualified from all team activities for the remainder of the season. It is the responsibility of the student to know their personal eligibility status prior to trying out for any team at Arundel. Make academics the focus of your student s high school career.
ATTENDANCE Students must attend a full day of school to be able to practice or play that day. Pre-approved absences/lateness must be signed by a principal or principal s designee and submitted to the athletic director or coach.
