Eligibility Committee

The Eligibility Committee shall be composed of five members, all of whom shall be present/former high school principals/assistant principals representing a balance of geography and classification. The committee shall be responsible to receive, to evaluate, and to render judgments on all requests for additional eligibility or questions concerning eligibility other than those specifically assigned by policy to the Executive Director. Decisions of the Committee on Eligibility may be appealed to the Interscholastic Management Committee pursuant to the provisions of (By-law Article VIII, Section 1).

Any high school principal who believes that a pupil may qualify for a waiver of any eligibility rule in Article VIII because it causes an undue hardship upon the student, may submit a written application to the Committee on Eligibility.

The application shall be mailed to the Executive Director and contain the following information:

1. A complete academic transcript including the dates of attendance.
2. Signed statements in support of the request from school staff members, parents, medical personnel, and/or other verifying parties.

The Executive Director will schedule the hearing on the application for the next meeting of the Committee on Eligibility. The school principal's designated representative (who may be the Executive Director upon specific requests of the school) shall make the application presentation.

The Executive Director shall record the decision of the Committee on Eligibility and forward a copy thereof to the applicant school.

Requests for waivers to be effective the first semester of the subsequent school year must be submitted by August 1 preceding the school year. All other requests for the first semester will be processed at the next regular meeting of the Eligibility Committee.

Requests for waivers to be effective the second semester of a school year must be submitted by January 1 of that school year. All other waiver requests for the second semester will be processed at the next regular meeting of the Eligibility Committee.
