The NCAA Division I Manual holds H
the answer to a Question that students HH
ments are "intended to make the ath- nei
lete really be as much of a student as
might have regarding athletics: Why
do student athletes get to register first?
Athletes are mainstreamed like regular
students, seeing their advisers and ill
calling TIPS or using the Internet to H
sign up lor classes. K
But that's where the similarity ends, ni
"(Student athletes) do get the priority
in registration, and that is prob- |||
ably how they differ from our normal
students," said Richard Bayer, university
registrar.
"As the university registrar, we have I J|
to comply with this bylaw article 14 of W
the NCAA Division I Manual."
A specific article listed under the
bylaw, Satisfactory-Progress Requirements,
"actually says that the univer- g||
sity has to ensure that courses are avail- Si
able so the student athletes can comply |p
with NCAA rules and regulations," Bay- |||
ersaid.
"If they don't comply, they are in- H
eligible to compete."
rnese requirements mciuae wnat r >
Bayer called "a very high level of aca- ||g
demic progress toward the grade" to 11
ensure that the athletes complete a Pi
minimum number of courses per se- |||
mester, maintain a certain GPA and H
make steady progress toward earning
a baccalaureate or equivalent degree.
Accordingly, the Athletics Academic
Support Services Office sometimes n
double-checks the athletes' schedules Hi
to be sure the athletes are taking the
correct classes. Gc
Athletes' schedules can be especially
difficult to plan because athletes are de'
only permitted to take degree-applica- an
ble courses. dei
