NAC386.805. Academic eligibility: Minimum grade point average.

     1. If, pursuant to the provisions of NAC 386.803, a school district adopts the requirements for academic eligibility set forth in this section, each pupil who participates in a sanctioned sport at a school that is located in the school district must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.0 based on a 4.0 grading system during the immediately preceding semester. A pupil who fails to maintain such a grade point average for that semester is ineligible to participate in a sanctioned sport until his or her grades are reviewed after the first 9 weeks of the semester that is conducted immediately after that semester.

     2. For the purposes of this section, the academic eligibility of a pupil must be determined on the day immediately after the school distributes the grades for the semester.

     3. If the grade point average of a pupil is less than 2.0 at the end of a semester and after the school conducts a 9-week review pursuant to subsection 1, the pupil is ineligible to participate in a sanctioned sport for the remainder of the semester.

     4. A pupil who receives an incomplete grade at the end of a semester must make up the grade within 3 weeks beginning on the date on which the grades are recorded for the grading period, as determined by the teacher who issued the incomplete grade, if the pupil has passed at least two units of credit and maintains a grade point average of not less than 2.0. Within 3 weeks after the grades are recorded for a grading period, a permanent grade for the pupil must be issued and used to determine the pupil’s grade point average. An incomplete grade must not be calculated in the grade point average of the pupil to determine academic eligibility pursuant to this section until the permanent grade is recorded for the class for which he or she received an incomplete grade.

     5. If a pupil repeats a class during summer school, the grade for that class must be:

     (a) Computed in accordance with the regulations of the school district in which the class is taken; and

     (b) Used by the school in which the pupil is enrolled in a manner that benefits the pupil in establishing or maintaining academic eligibility to participate in a sanctioned sport at the school for the immediately preceding or current semester.
