COMPLIANCE - STUDENT-ATHLETES

Current Student-Athletes | Prospective Student-Athletes | Alumni, Boosters and Fans 

Cal State Monterey Bay Athletics takes great pride in the fact that our student-athletes are some of the best in the country, both on and off the field. The first step to following the rules is knowing the rules, so this page is intended to be a resource for our student-athletes.

While you are a student-athlete at CSUMB, you are obligated to abide by NCAA, CCAA, WWPA and CSUMB rules. The compliance office is ready to assist you with these issues. The Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance will conduct an annual rules education session with each team and periodic updates as needed during the course of the academic year. Student-athletes are encouraged to ask questions and utilize the compliance office. Below you will find some information regarding NCAA, CCAA, WWPA and CSUMB rules.

**This is not a complete listing, so as a general rule, ask before you act.

ACADEMICS


Full Time Enrollment Requirement
To be eligible for practice, competition, and financial aid, you must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. If you need fewer than 12 credit hours to graduate, you may enroll in only these final hours and still be eligible for practice, competition, and financial aid. Graduate students who have eligibility remaining must be enrolled in at least nine credit hours to be considered full-time at CSUMB.

  • Complete 24 credits prior to second year of enrollment;
  • Earn 18 semester credits during the academic year (excluding summer);
  • Earn six academic credits in the previous regular academic term or full-time enrollment;
  • Declare a major no later than the beginning of your fifth semester or third year of enrollment and, thereafter, complete the required credits in courses applicable to your declared major;
  • Maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average that is 90% of the minimum GPA required to graduate (at least 1.8, 24-47 credit hours), 95% of the minimum GPA (1.9, 48-71 credit hours), and 100% of the minimum GPA (2.0, 72 credit hours and above).
