Student activities are considered a vital part of a student’s educational process. Students are encouraged to participate in programs which emphasize leadership and training, service to the college and community, and the opportunity to interact with those from different cultural backgrounds. Inter-collegiate sports include Men and Women’s basketball. The College sponsors other co-curricular activities during the year and encourages students to participate.
Students who maintain a “C” average or above shall be excused with the instructor’s permission to attend approved student activities in which they participate. The student is responsible for all work missed during the absence. In order to participate in student activities, the student must be accepted by the institution as a full- time student. A full-time student is enrolled in at least 12 credit hours. If at any time during the semester, the student carries less than 12 semester credit hours, he or she will immediately be ineligible for participation. A student must maintain at least a 1.5 GPA after the first semester of entrance in order to participate in activities. After the first semester, the chart will be used to determine eligibility:
