Situations Where Student-Athletes Might Qualify for a Waiver or Appeal

Many times, student-athletes don’t realize that they qualify for waivers or appeals that could possibly extend their eligibility, rule them immediately eligible for competition, or allow for a scholarship or appeal hearing.

A few of the situations where a waiver or appeal might apply include:

• The student-athlete has been injured in competition, hurt in an accident or had an illness that affects their ability to compete.

• A coach or athletic department has cancelled a student-athlete’s scholarship for “violating team rules.”

• A student-athlete has extenuating circumstances including illness or death of family and they need to take a break from competition.

• A student-athlete is denied eligibility and there are extenuating circumstances.
