Student-athletes must maintain full-time enrollment (12 units) to be eligible to compete in their sport. Contact your Athletic Advisor before making schedule adjustments.
Maybe. Eligibility depends on a variety of parameters including how many units must be passed in a quarter and an academic year. Every student-athlete must pass a minimum of six-degree applicable units a quarter to remain eligible. Talk to your Athletic Advisor as soon as possible if you are concerned you may not pass a course.
Yes, if you are actively on the roster and traveling for a university-approved sporting event. It is the student-athlete's responsibility to provide a "Missed Class Letter" to faculty before missing the course and to learn the information missed during team travel.
