Extracurricular Activities Eligibility

West Field High School places the utmost importance on academic success. Athletics and extracurricular activities should be a means to encourage students to take care of their academic and attendance requirements. West Field High School provides students with many opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities. Research shows that students perform better in school when they are involved in extracurricular activities. In compliance with the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) standards, the following minimum standards have been set for participation in all West Field High School extracurricular activities.

Non-compliance with these standards is cause to declare a student ineligible to represent our school. Transfer students are responsible for meeting the academic standards upon admittance to West Field High. Transfer students from other Weber District schools must also meet the attendance standard of Roy High in order to be eligible for participation. Students must meet eligibility requirements set forth by the clubs and organizations advisory board in order to participate in any related activity or competition wherein they represent the school. Students who are ineligible cannot participate with, or travel with any team or group.

Academic Eligibility Standard

1. The grade point average (GPA) of the student for the quarter preceding participation and/or the quarter of participation, if participation overlaps quarters, must be 2.0 or better. This is the current GPA only and does not refer to any cumulative GPA. If the student receives an I (incomplete), NC (no credit), or NM (no mark) grade, the I, NC, or NM grade will be considered an F for the purpose of calculating GPA.

  1. There shall be no more than one F, I, NC, or NM on the report card for the quarter preceding, and/or the quarter of participation if participation overlaps quarters (student must earn credit in all classes). Eligibility under this rule is determined when grades are posted. Grades are "posted" when the school registrar enters all grades electronically and they are available to students, parents, and teachers. In no case may the posting date be more than 5 school days following the last day of the grading period. Grade changes after the posting date cannot restore lost eligibility, except for a documented clerical error made by the teacher. In this situation, a recalculation of the grade point average will be done with the new grade replacing the error.

  2. A recalculation of the grade point average would also need to be done if deficiencies are by a student retaking a class for original credit. The grade point average must be recalculated once an F, I, NC or NM has been made up, with the new grade replacing the deficiency. In order to replace the deficiency obtained during the final grading period, the new grade must be earned in the same subject area and must come from a school district approved program.
