Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 38, September 20, 2024

9.1. All students are required to be enrolled in the equivalent of at least four content area course credits toward graduation to participate in the state championship tournament. Failure to earn passing marks in the equivalent of at least four content area courses toward graduation shall render a student ineligible for the following semester.

9.1.a. Two of those four content area course credits must be in English language arts, social studies, mathematics, or science, and may or may not be in the same subject.

9.1.b. If a student has completed all state, county, and school requirements, the student may select four full credits from any area of the curriculum offered by the school.

9.1.c. If a student is taking a multiple period block course, such as vocational courses for a full morning or afternoon, it may be counted as more than one course. The number of courses counted will be equal to the units of full credits given; however, § 127-5-1.1 and § 127-5-1.2 apply.

9.2. Full credit may be awarded for outside courses and experimental programs developed by the school itself provided that it meets standards established by the county and West Virginia Board of Education. Such credit must be earned during the regular school term.

9.3. In order for a withdrawn student or expelled student to regain eligibility, the student must complete one semester of school work.

9.4. Scholastic deficiencies cannot be made up after the last day of the semester, except when a student's final examination(s) and course credit are delayed due to illness verified by a physician.

9.5. In all cases, the official school transcript determines a student's eligibility and is regarded as final.

9.6. A student promoted to the 6th grade for the first time is considered to have satisfied scholastic requirements and is permitted to participate during the first semester of initial enrollment in that grade, provided the student is otherwise eligible.
