VHSL Athletic Eligibility

For athletic & activity eligibility, the Virginia High School League (VHSL) requires the following of all participating students:

1. For the first semester, be currently enrolled in not fewer than five subjects, or their equivalent, offered for credit and which may be used for graduation; and have passed five subjects, or their equivalent, offered for credit and which may be used for graduation the immediately preceding year or the immediately preceding semester for schools that certify credit on a semester basis; and
2. For the second semester, be currently enrolled in not fewer than five subjects, or their equivalent, offered for credit and which may be used for graduation; and have passed five subjects, or their equivalent, offered for credit and which may be used for graduation the immediately preceding semester.

If a James Monroe student-athlete does not meet these VHSL requirements, they will be ineligible for athletics and activities. The Activities Director will check grades at each quarter to determine if a student-athlete will be removed from the team or activity due to failure to maintain eligibility throughout the quarter and/or semester.
