Academic Policy:
Full-Time Status: an undergraduate student-athlete shall be enrolled in at least 12 semester hours during their season of competition (graduate student-athlete: nine semester hours) to remain academically eligible. Should a student-athlete drop below the required quantity of semester hours, he/she will immediately become ineligible for practice and competition.

After first and second semesters at Alfred University: minimum 1.75 cumulative GPA
After 3rd semester at AU: minimum 1.85
From 4th semester to graduation at AU: minimum 2.0
Falling below any of these thresholds would result in immediate suspension of varsity competition until those minimums are reached, even if the student remains in good standing or on probation at Alfred University.
