The Board of Education recognizes that
extracurricular, co-curricular, and athletic
activities enrich the educational experience and
social development and experience of students. The District shall encourage and support student
participation in extracurricular activities without
compromising the integrity and purpose of the
educational program.
Students participating in any school sponsored
activity which requires extensive time outside the
regular school day, shall comply with eligibility
requirements of the Irvine Unified School District. Eligibility requirements shall meet or exceed the
California Interscholastic Eligibility policies which
govern the participation of all students in athletic
programs in the Irvine Unified School District.
Eligibility requirements for participation in all
extracurricular activities are:
- previous Quarter GPA 2.0
- pass 4 classes Previous Quarter
- enrollment in at least 25 units; enrollment in at least 20 units for second semester seniors
- no
known conviction of a felony, or known adjudication as a Ward of
the Court, based on the commission of a felony, unless the
sentence has been served and any court-prescribed formal
probation completed
Participants who do not maintain the required GPA
are placed on academic probation for the subsequent
quarter. Students on academic probation may continue
for one quarter to participate in the activity while
working with school staff who will monitor progress
and provide guidance and support. A second quarter of
failure to meet the GPA requirement any time during
the four high school years will result in immediate
ineligibility. The student will remain ineligible
until requirements are met. During the four high
school years, no student will be placed on academic
probation more than once.
