The NCAA designed "Progress-Toward-Degree" requirements to guide students toward graduation. Standards include a minimum GPA, term-by-term and annual credit, along with a percentage of degree requirement. Student-athletes who do not meet the benchmarks are not eligible for competition, absent a successful waiver.

​Student-athletes are required to be enrolled full-time, which is a minimum of 12 credits, at all times, with the exception of his or her final semester. Below are two tables that summarize progress-toward-degree requirements, and examples of related NCAA legislation.

Note: Football student-athletes must earn 9 semester hours of credit to retain eligibility
