98the event triggering one or more of the criteria listed under rule 19-6.1 must be occurring. A student seeking full eligibility because of a school closing (rule 19-6.1(d)) can seek eligibility at %u2018any school%u2019 (rule 19-6.3(b)(2), however the transfer to the new School must occur after the Sending School actually closed, or at least contemporaneous with the Sending School%u2019s closure. In this case, the student would have Limited Eligibility at School A until the Sending School closes, and at that time student could request full eligibility.Q. 19-17 A student attends a member School, the member School eliminates calculus from its curriculum and because of that change in the curriculum, the student transfers to a Private member School which offers calculus. Under these circumstances, can the student qualify for full eligibility under the Transfer Rule?A. No. Under rule 19, the Transfer Rule, the student does not qualify for full eligibility. Rule 19-6.1 provides various grounds for obtaining full eligibility following a non-move transfer, and the loss of a course at a Sending School does not meet any of the various grounds. Therefore, the student would be granted Limited Eligibility under rule 19-6.2. However, the student may seek a waiver under rule 17-8.Q. 19-18 Will a Private School student who resides with his/her parents and who transfers to the Public School serving the parent%u2019s residence, be fully eligible following the transfer under rule 19?A. No. A student transferring without a corresponding change of residence by his/her parents/guardians will, under rule 19-6.2, likely be granted Limited Eligibility at the Public School for Three Hundred Sixty-five (365) days from the date the student last participated in a Contest at the Private School, unless the student would qualify for a waiver under rule 17-8.Q. 19-19 If a student resides with his/her parents in a residence served by a Public School but attends the ninth grade at a Private School in the area, the student has not participated in athletics, and as a sophomore, the student transfers to the Public School serving his/her residence, is the student eligible?A. A student transferring without a corresponding change of residence by his/her parents/guardians will, under rule 19-6.2, likely be granted Limited Eligibility at the Public School for Three Hundred Sixty-five (365) days from the date the student last participated in a Contest at the Private School, unless the student would qualify for full eligibility under another provision of rule 19 or unless the student sought a waiver under rule 17-8. Here it appears that the student had not participated in athletics during the preceding Three Hundred Sixty-five (365) days at the student%u2019s former School, and it appears likely that the student could obtain full eligibility under rule 19-6.1(j).Q. 19-20 Can a student transfer to Receiving School and obtain full eligibility under rule 19-6.1(n) when the student%u2019s parent obtains a job as a bus driver at the Receiving School?A. No. Under rule 19-6.1(n), the parent%u2019s position at the Receiving School must be either a teaching or administration position requiring an education license, an administrator%u2019s certification or similar professional credential. A position requiring a driver%u2019s license or similar licensure does not qualify for full eligibility under the rule.Q. 19-21 Can a student transfer to a Receiving School and obtain full eligibility under sections 19-6.1(n) and 19-6.3(b)(4), if the student%u2019s father accepted his new position at the Receiving School a year prior to the transfer?A. No. The event or occurrence which permits a student%u2019s full eligibility at a Receiving School under section 19-6.1(n) is the parent%u2019s acceptance of a position at the Receiving School, and under section 19-6.3(b)(4), the student must enroll at Receiving School no later than the 15th day of the first semester or trimester following that event (the parent%u2019s acceptance of the position).
