  • All students are academically eligible through the summer.
  • Total credits determine the first six-week eligibility for 9-12 students.
  • To be eligible, students must be passing all classes at the end of a grading period. An “i” (incomplete) recorded as a grade is considered a failing grade until a passing grade is recorded.
