Academics

IN THE PREVIOUS GRADING TERM: 
Students must have earned a minimum 2.0 GPA.
Students did not fail more than one class.

NOTE: An Incomplete (I) counts as an F until a grade has been posted. Grades in double-blocked
classes count twice. Grades in concurrent enrollment courses count quadruple since the course is
worth an entire high school credit. (This means a D or F would count as TWO D’s or F’s in a
double-blocked class and count as FOUR D’s or F’s in a concurrent enrollment class.)

IN THE PARTICIPATING SEASON SEMESTER:
Students must be enrolled in credit-bearing courses totaling a minimum of 2.5 credits per semester for 10 period schools, and 2.0 credits per semester for 7-period schools.

DO ONLINE CLASSES COUNT?
Yes, but the student/parent must provide proof of enrollment including course enrollment dates & credit amount per class.

WHAT ABOUT HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS?
Homeschooled students must have an active Homeschooling Affidavit on file and be able to document progress in their homeschool curriculum.

DOES RELEASE TIME (SEMINARY) COUNT?
No, only courses that earn credit toward graduation can count for UHSAA eligibility purposes.

NOTE: Incoming 9th grade students who wish to participate in a fall UHSAA sport/activity begin the year with
a “clean slate” and cannot be excluded from participation due to 4th term grades from their 8th grade year.

Transfer Rule:

Navigating athletic eligibility during a high school transfer can be complicated, especially with differences between district policies and Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) rules. This section is designed to help families, students, and staff better understand how transfers may impact participation in sports and activities. Much of the information below applies specifically to students who transfer schools without moving homes to a new boundary school, which can carry different eligibility consequences under UHSAA guidelines. By providing accurate, up-to-date information, we aim to support informed decisions and reduce confusion around eligibility requirements. For additional details, families are encouraged to visit the UHSAA Transfer Information page. 

Whether you're considering a boundary change, an out-of-boundary request, or a school transfer, please review the details below and use the inquiry form to receive personalized guidance based on your student’s unique situation. 

First-Time Transfer Rule 

• If a student transfers to a new high school and has participated in any UHSAA-sanctioned sport within the past 12 months at a different school, they must sit out the first 50% of games from any sport they participated in during the previous 12 months at their prior school. 

Subsequent Transfer Rule 

• If a student transfers more than one time to a new school, they must sit out one full calendar year from any sport they participated in during the previous 12 months at their prior school. 

Note: These rules apply regardless of whether the transfer is within the district or between districts. UHSAA eligibility is determined independently from district boundary policies. 

Important Distinctions 

• UHSAA eligibility rules are not the same as district transfer or boundary policies. A student may be approved to attend a school out-of-boundary but still be ineligible to participate in sports under UHSAA rules. 

• Terms like “boundary school,” “out-of-boundary,” and “transfer” may have different meanings depending on whether you're speaking about district policy or referring to UHSAA guidelines. 

Need Help Understanding Eligibility? 

To receive accurate feedback and guidance tailored to your student’s situation, please complete the Transfer Eligibility Inquiry Form linked below. While school administrators, coaches, and even athletic directors can offer general advice, this form helps identify all relevant factors that may affect eligibility under current UHSAA rules.

The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 directed the USDA to establish nutrition standards for all foods and beverages sold to students in school during the school day, including foods sold through school fundraisers. The standards provide a special exemption for infrequent fundraisers not meeting the nutrition standards. Local education agencies may hold specifically exempted fundraisers up to three times per year per site, each lasting up to five consecutive school days. Exempt fundraisers may not be held during meal service in the food service area.
