99Here, since the father%u2019s accepted the position a year ago, the student would have had to Enroll at the Receiving School no later than the 15th day of the first semester or trimester following that acceptance, and since that date has passed, the student here would not qualify for full eligibility under rules 19-6.1(n) and 19-6.3(4).Moves Between Parental HouseholdsQ. 19-22 If a family owns a business that serves several school Districts, owns a home in Two (2) different Districts, the father and the student live in a Public School District A and the student attends the Public School in District A, the mother live in the apartment in Public School District B, and because of supervisory considerations, it is decided that the student should live with the mother in Public School District B and should attend School B, will the student be granted full eligibility?A. No, the student would be granted Limited Eligibility, since a single family unit may not maintain Two (2) or more residences for athletic eligibility purposes, unless the student would qualify for full eligibility under another provision of rule 19. (rule 19-6.2; See definition of Bona Fide move)Q. 19-23 If a student, who has been living in another state with the student%u2019s divorced mother, who has legal custody, moves to live with the student%u2019s father and Enrolls at the IHSAA member School which Serves the Residence of the father, may the student be eligible at the new School?A. Yes, provided this is the first or second move between parents. (rule 19-6.1(b))Q. 19-24 Does the existence of a broken home, separated parents, or other factors mean that eligibility in terms of residence will automatically be granted?A. No, each of these circumstances is only a factor which permits the Commissioner or his designee to review the individual circumstances of the student%u2019s case and make a ruling on the basis of an investigation and the provisions of the By-Laws. (rules 19, 17-8)Emancipated StudentQ. 19-25 Can an Emancipated Student, who transfers to a Public School which does not serve the residence of his/her parents, get full eligible under rule 19-6.1(i)?A. Yes. However, the eligibility of an Emancipated Student under rule 19-6.1(i) turns, not upon the School serving the parents%u2019 residence, but upon the School serving the Emancipated Student%u2019s residence. So, if the Emancipated Student can establish his/her residence is in a new District which Serves the Public School where the Emancipated Student Enrolled, the Emancipated Student should get full eligibility under rule 19-6.1(i).GuardiansQ. 19-26 If a student%u2019s parents determine that it is in the student%u2019s best interests for the student to live with the student%u2019s grandparents, and the parents arrange for the grandparents to become the legal Guardians of the student, and the student then moves in with the grandparents and enrolls at the Public School Serving the grandparents%u2019 residence, will the student get full eligibility under rule 19-6.1?A. No. A legal guardianship established for the purpose of making a student eligible will not support a full eligibility ruling under rule 19-6.1(c)(2), and here it appears that the grandparent%u2019s legal guardianship was established for the purpose of making the student eligible.Foreign Exchange TransfersQ. 19-27 Is a foreign exchange student, attending an IHSAA member School, fully eligible to participate in athletics?A. Yes, provided the student is attending under a CSIET-approved program and all of the requirements contained in foreign exchange rule have been met and followed. If the foreign exchange student cannot meet the foreign exchange rule, the student will likely be granted Limited Eligibility. (rules 19-6.1(m), 19-6.2, 19-7)Rule 19 - Eligibility and Transfer
