Question
I've been attending a Div IAA college part-time on and off for 5 years and will be a full-time student next semester. My academic status is junior. I've always wanted to play college ball, but been busy with work and studies. I decided to walk-on in the spring. Do I still have eligibility left to play?

Answer
Jason, hello!

I've been waiting 3 days for a router to be mailed after mine was hit by a storm.  Sorry for the delay!

The Athletic Department will advise the minimum eligibility standards as to age, grades and tryout dates.  You certainly need to pursue it so that you will always know that you gave it your best shot.  I think you should have at least one year remaining but the NCAA has an age limit for the complete enrollment.  If a scholarship is not involved that rule would be different.

Sorry I couldn't help more!

Above all else, Try out for the Team !!
