What is the Eligibility Appeals Committee?

The Eligibility Appeals Committee (EAC) hears appeals submitted by a member school.  The committee meets 9 times during the school year. Submission deadline dates and meeting dates can be found in section 644.13 page 69 of the handbook.

 

Example: An Athletic Director (AD) submitted an Eligibility Application to the Eligibility Officer and it was not accepted. The AD can then choose to make an appeal, which will be heard by the EAC. The EAC will make the final and binding decision in regards to the atudent-athlete's eligibility.
