ACADEMIC Eligibility

“As the OCAA acknowledges that the goal of education is the total development of the individual; that an athlete’s experience can and should contribute to the participant’s education and personal development; that athletics is only part of the total development which cannot stand alone; and that each member has the right and responsibility to determine a standard of academic eligibility for its student-athletes…”

  • Must earn 18 credits over the year (approx. 6 courses) to play the

subsequent year
