NCAA Mandated Missed Class Time Policy
This policy
governs minimum attendance for athletic eligibility and does not
bind individual faculty members who may require a higher level of
attendance.
In order to meet the Missed Class Time requirement of NCAA Bylaw
3.2.4.11, the following policy is in effect at University of
Colorado at Colorado Springs:
- Student-athletes will not be required to attend any
practice/activities that result in a missed scheduled class
or final exam. Activities considered practice include:
- Preparation and conditioning time (weight training,
running, etc.)
- Training room time (rehab, taping, etc.)
- Meetings (to include individual film watching)
- On-field practice
- Competition and travel time will not be scheduled to
conflict with final exams.
- A student athlete may not miss one class more than 5 times
because of scheduled competition and travel time during a
semester. (this applies to courses which meet two times per
week or more; classes that only meet once a week would be
addressed on a pro rata basis, e.g. 2.5 times per semester)
- Media and recruiting requests will not interfere with class
or exam schedules.
- Exceptions to the above will only be approved by the
Athletic Director who will report exceptions to the IAAC at
the last meeting of each semester.
