SUMMER SCHOOL ATTENDANCE POLICY

To be eligible for Department of Athletics summer school financial assistance a student-athlete must attend summer school at the University of Richmond and must:

1. have received athletics related aid during the academic year;
   AND
2. be in academic difficulty with his or her cumulative GPA;
   OR
3. be deficient in hours and not making satisfactory academic progress;
   OR
4. have to complete graduation course requirements which could not be met during the regular academic sessions.

If a student-athlete meets the criteria for receiving financial assistance, he or she must petition the Director of Athletics for permission to attend summer school with Department of Athletics financial support. To make this petition the student-athlete must complete a SUMMER SCHOOL REQUEST FORM and give the justification for requesting summer school. The student-athlete will list the courses requested for all summer sessions, not just the May session. Also, the SUMMER SCHOOL REQUEST must be accompanied by an advising copy of the student-athlete's most recent transcript and a copy of his or her course schedule for the current semester.

The completed SUMMER SCHOOL REQUEST FORM is submitted to Director of Athletics through the Office of Student-Athlete Development and Support Services. The request may be made anytime after February 15, but not later than April 5. The Student-Athlete will be notified by mail as soon as possible, but not later than April 15, of the approval or denial of the request.

Any summer school courses the student-athlete enrolls in without the Director of Athletics' permission will be billed to: THE STUDENT-ATHLETE -- not the Department of Athletics.
