Q. 8 May the academic rules of a School be changed, or may a special examination be
given to certain students in order for the students to become eligible academically
under the IHSAA Academic Rule, rule 18?
A. A member School is responsible for the administration of its academic program,
and therefore may make and change its academic rules and may decide what
examinations will and will not be given to its students. However, if a School makes
a change to its academic rules, and if such change applies only to certain students
and the purpose of such change is principally to make those students academically
eligible under the IHSAA Academic Rule, the IHSAA may fi nd that such rule change
to be a sham and may fi nd such students academic ineligibility. Likewise, if a School
gives certain students special examinations, and if the purpose for giving such
examinations is principally to make the students academically eligible under the
IHSAA Academic Rule, then the IHSAA may fi nd that the giving of such examines
to also be a sham and fi nd such students academic ineligibility.
